03WebGIS

Maps that answer a question.

A WebGIS does not have to look like specialist software. We combine your geodata with open sources and build a map where people find what they are looking for – on the phone as well as at the desk.

  • Open and official geodata with verified licences (e.g. OpenStreetMap, state survey offices, German Weather Service)
  • Our own routing and distances from a starting point, search by place and postcode
  • Maps without third-party tracking; location only on request and never stored
  • Pages per place or object for search engines, server-rendered

06Fragen

Frequently asked.

What data can you work with?

Spreadsheets (CSV, Excel), databases, APIs and geodata (GeoJSON, shapefile, GeoTIFF, point clouds). What matters is that we are allowed to use the data – we check the licence with you.

Can we update the graphics ourselves?

Yes. Either they update automatically from your source, or you upload a new spreadsheet. We decide that at the start.

Do we need Google Maps or a GIS subscription?

No. We work with open map data and our own delivery, so there are no per-view licence fees and no visitor data goes to third parties.

Does it work on phones?

Yes, we design for the phone first. We check every page at 390 pixels wide and on desktop, light and dark.

Which data should speak?

Send us a spreadsheet, a link or a question. In the intro call we tell you which form fits – and what it takes.
