Atlas is a browser-based GIS platform designed to simplify geospatial data visualization and analysis. It allows users to import data in various formats, perform advanced spatial analyses, and create interactive maps for the web. Ideal for businesses and professionals in retail, real estate, energy, and more, Atlas transforms complex location data into actionable insights.
"The future of mapping isn't about staring at static images—it's about interacting with dynamic data that tells stories. Atlas makes this possible for everyone."
Breaking Free From Clunky GIS Systems
Let's be honest—traditional GIS software feels like using a typewriter in the age of ChatGPT. Atlas changes all that. It's not just another mapping tool; it's a complete reimagining of how we work with spatial data.
Here's why professionals are ditching their old systems:
🌍 Browser-based magic: No installations, no updates—just open and create
⚡ Real-time collaboration: Work with teammates like editing a Google Doc
🧩 50+ analysis tools previously only available to GIS PhDs
The Atlas Difference: Simplicity Meets Power
Visualize Like a Pro (Without Being One)
The magic happens in three steps:
Import anything: CSVs, Shapefiles, GeoJSON—even connect to remote servers
Analyze effortlessly: Heatmaps, territory optimization, routing—all with clicks, not code
Share instantly: Public links, embedded maps, or team collaborations
