Why ?

There are some very good GIS available: QGIS and others are great software. But they are designed by and for experts, and are hard to use.

Abc-Map is a lightweight GIS whose objective is to offer a good user experience for neophytes as for experts in a hurry.

What can I do with this thing ?

• You can create and process geographic data (geojson, shapefiles, WMS, WMTS, XYZ, ...)
• You can export maps in PDF or PNG format
• You can share online maps on your sites in iframe or fullscreen
• If you are a nerd you can practice Javascript, Typescript, React, Openlayers and more !

Who uses Abc-Map ?

• Sportsmen and women for running or cycling routes
• Teachers and students for workshops
• Entrepreneurs to georeference their activities or one-off events
• Police, gendarmes and coastguards for public service missions
• Ecological associations for the organization of community actions
• Professional researchers and enthusiasts to illustrate historical or political narratives
• Tourist offices for tour itineraries
• Town halls and citizens' committees for the organization of markets or celebrations
• Humanitarian and solidarity organizations for social action missions

And much more, which we don't hear about because... we don't track users 👏👏
