Map

📄️ Map Interface

Opening a project will take you to the Map Interface. Here, you can create, organize, and style layers, visualize spatial data, and harness all of GOAT's powerful spatial analysis capabilities.

📄️ Layers

In the Layers section, layers can be added and organized. Among others, the layer order can be adjusted, layers can be enabled/disabled, duplicated, renamed, downloaded, and removed.

📄️ Layer Editing

In GOAT, you can create your own layers and edit features directly on the map. This allows you to digitize new data, add attributes, and modify existing features without leaving the map view.

📄️ Measurements

The Measurements tool lets you measure distances, areas, and routes directly on the map. Click the Measurements button in the map navigation controls to open the tool panel.

Filter limits data visibility on your map using logical expressions (e.g., supermarkets with specific names) or spatial expressions (e.g., points within a bounding box). The filter allows you to focus on relevant information without altering original data. It works with point layers and polygon layers containing number and string data types.

📄️ Charts

The Charts feature allows you to quickly visualize aggregated data, result from the tools aggregate polygon and aggregate point, without complex configuration showing the relationship between your source and target layers.

📄️ Basemaps

Basemaps provide the background map layer for your project, giving geographic context to your data — streets, terrain, satellite imagery, or a plain colour. GOAT supports any provider that offers a Style JSON URL (vector) or XYZ tile URL (raster).
