Gallery¶
100 interactive maps built from public open data, grouped by theme.
Each is a single .geolibre.json project authored with the
Python package and shared on share.geolibre.app: choropleths,
heatmaps, clusters, great-circle flows, 3D extrusions, before-and-after swipes,
and time sliders, with click popups, hover tooltips, and a legend derived from
each layer's symbology. Click any map to open the live project, or fork it
on share.geolibre.app to make it your own.
Every project is tagged with its theme, its features (time-slider, swipe,
3d, heatmap, clusters, imagery), and
open-data,
so you can filter the gallery on share.geolibre.app by tag.
