opengeos/RustGIS v0.3.0 on GitHub

RustGIS v0.3.0 brings the world's open data to your map and makes the app faster and more open to other tools. Search STAC catalogs, Overture Maps, OpenStreetMap, open-data portals and S3 buckets from the app, read cloud-native files in place by their web address, and query PostGIS tables live. Maps can now draw on the GPU (beta) with smooth zoom and pan, the globe drapes your map over it, and the new rustgis Python package and process plugins bring RustGIS into Jupyter and your own programs.

Highlights

Open data, built in: search STAC catalogs (with Microsoft Planetary Computer assets), Overture Maps, Source Cooperative, OpenStreetMap by area (Overpass), geoBoundaries and the CKAN (data.gov), Socrata and ArcGIS Hub portals; browse S3 buckets with signed connections; geocode places and address tables. A new Data Sources pane keeps favourites, recent sources, saved services and a library. See Data.
Cloud-native data by address: add GeoJSON, CSV, GeoParquet, FlatGeobuf, cloud-optimised GeoTIFFs and more by their web address. GeoParquet, FlatGeobuf and COGs are read in place by range, large GeoJSON and Shapefiles stream, and the web app opens large local GeoTIFFs a part at a time.
More formats and services: PostGIS tables read live through a pure-Rust client; DXF, GML, MapInfo MIF/MID, OSM PBF, TopoJSON, LiDAR (LAS, LAZ, COPC), MBTiles, spreadsheets, geotagged photos and KML ground overlays open natively; JPEG 2000, NetCDF, HDF and more through GDAL; WMS, WMTS, WFS, WCS, OGC API Features and Tiles, ArcGIS REST and CSW catalogue search; Zarr stores by folder or address. An SQL pane gives you a DuckDB Spatial workspace.
A faster, livelier map: a GPU rendering backend (beta) and smooth zoom and pan between redraws, a globe with the flat map draped over it and a starry sky, a search box for layers, places and coordinates, OpenFreeMap and USGS Imagery basemaps, features cut cleanly along the edge of world projections, and layers you reorder by dragging.
Python and plugins: the rustgis Python package on PyPI runs the engine in-process and puts the app in a Jupyter notebook with rustgis.Map. Process plugins run as programs on your computer, with Python environments RustGIS makes for them, in the background with progress and Cancel.
AI Assistant: use your ChatGPT plan by signing in with ChatGPT, and let external AI clients drive the app through the agent skill and loopback relay.
Cartography and workspace: custom colour ramps with QGIS, GDAL and GMT palette import; legends that list what the frame draws; rename, duplicate and close maps and layouts from tabs and the Browser pane; the web app installs as an app with offline start and opens projects and data from a link (?project=, ?data=); Georgian joins the interface languages.
