Introducing the new Natural Earth plugin for GeoLibre!

World Base Map draft (Natural Earth 6.0) (https://t.co/of6Y7L3gTw) by Tom Patterson (@MtnMapper) and Nathaniel Vaughn Kelso was recently released in shapefile format . I converted the datasets to GeoJSON, GeoParquet, and PMTiles formats and make them available on @source_coop (https://t.co/3JgT9ebaxm).

To make these datasets easy to explore and use, I also built a Natural Earth plugin for GeoLibre. Open Plugins > Web Services > Natural Earth and you can:

- Add any of 35 layers instantly: land, ocean, coastlines, admin boundaries, rivers, lakes, glaciers, wetlands, urban areas, bathymetry, coral reefs, airports, railroads, and more. Click Add and it lands on the map.
- Pick the format that fits your work: every layer is published four ways. PMTiles for instant vector-tile rendering, GeoParquet for analysis, GeoJSON for portability, and zipped Shapefiles for the tools that still want them.
- Browse the real bucket: the file list is the live listing from Source Cooperative, not a catalog baked into the app, so what you see is always what is actually there.
- Take it with you: download any layer, or copy its URL straight into DuckDB, QGIS, or a notebook.

Many thanks to Tom Patterson and Nathaniel Vaughn Kelso for their decades of work on Natural Earth, and to Source Cooperative and AWS for making open geospatial data more accessible to everyone.

GeoLibre now speaks Arabic and 14 other languages!

We just shipped Arabic (العربية) support in GeoLibre, and it's more than a translation. Because Arabic reads right-to-left, the entire interface now mirrors intelligently: menus, toolbars, panels, and controls all flip to feel native to RTL users.

This lands GeoLibre at 15 supported languages:

🇸🇦 Arabic · 🇬🇧 English · 🇨🇳 Chinese · 🇪🇸 Spanish · 🇫🇷 French · 🇩🇪 German · 🇵🇹 Portuguese · 🇮🇹 Italian · 🇳🇱 Dutch · 🇯🇵 Japanese · 🇰🇷 Korean · 🇷🇺 Russian · 🇹🇷 Turkish · 🇮🇩 Indonesian · 🇮🇳 Hindi

These translations were seeded with machine assistance and are open to native-speaker review. If you'd love to sharpen the wording in your language, PRs are warmly welcomed.

A big thank you to GitHub user (pythonbass) for contributing the Arabic translation!

GeoLibre v2.1 is here!

GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. It runs everywhere you do, in the web browser, on the desktop, on mobile, and inside Jupyter notebooks, all while keeping your data local and private.

This release adds a QGIS-style Browser panel for exploring data from one place, animated route playback with video export, Wikipedia knowledge cards, and Mapillary street-level images.

What's new in v2.1.0

- Browser panel (Data Source Manager): explore and add data from one place. Browse map services, connect to PostGIS databases and drill into their schemas and tables, open local files, and save Favorites, all with full keyboard navigation.
- Route animation: send a marker along any line layer, follow the track in 3D with camera controls, and export the whole animation as an MP4 video.
- In-browser object detection: run ONNX/YOLO models directly in the webview, with no server or Python required.
- Map recording: capture the map canvas, or a drawn bounding box, straight to a video file from the browser.
- Native-resolution photo viewer: view geotagged photos at full detail right on the map.
- Wikipedia knowledge cards: click any place to pull up its Wikipedia summary and info card.
- More planetary basemaps: USGS imagery for nine more celestial bodies, plus a new OpenAerialMap imagery search plugin.
