Are you tired of wasting hours searching for geospatial data across multiple platforms? As geospatial professionals, we've all been there, bouncing between different geoportals, juggling multiple tabs, struggling to find the datasets we need, and feeling frustrated by the time it takes. I recently wrote an article that dives into this issue and introduces GISDATA.io Galileo as a solution that could save you significant time and effort. https://lnkd.in/gZjUvxJW

I want to live in a world in which interoperable geospatial data types are as common as cat videos on the internet.
The initial goal of #GeoParquet was modest: to ensure that any tool reading or writing spatially located geometries (points, lines and polygons) does so in a consistent and interoperable way. But the ultimate goal has been to make #geospatial a primary data type within the broader data community. Chris Holmes and Javier de la Torre discuss in their latest blog post a future where geospatial data is integrated across the data landscape. https://lnkd.in/eUBGaSTE

In need of a #geospatial dataset? > Since November, Overture Maps has been publishing global, open geospatial datasets every month. They've also expanded the topics they cover from building footprints and road networks to address lists and AI-generated land use data. > They've managed to get several major geospatial software, data providers and the OpenStreetMap (OSM) community to come together to produce these datasets and provide them publicly free of charge. https://lnkd.in/gBP_5WVe #openstreetmap #gis #datasets #freedatasets #data #overturemaps #mapping #cartography #maps

"The essence of the National Geospatial Policy on data democratization is to make this data accessible to other stakeholders and the public. It aims for data to be in the public domain, enabling further development and utilization by various parties. Public domain data should be readily available for administrative use and for further analysis by stakeholders, he said. #datademocratization #capacitybuilding #geospatialtechnology #geospatial #policy #dataaccess https://lnkd.in/dy8UZYmX

Top 5 Geospatial Data APIs for Advanced Analysis Explore Overpass, Geoapify, Distancematrix.ai, Amadeus, and Mapillary for Advanced Mapping and Location Data Kyle Glenn in Unsplash (Source: https://lnkd.in/g7wdK9A5) Geographic data is important in many analyses, enabling us to decide based on location and spatial patterns. Examples of projects where geodata can come in handy include predicting house prices, route optimization in transportation, or establishing a marketing strategy for business. However, as a data scientist, you will frequently face the challenge of where to obtain this data. In many cases, there are public sources with information on geographic data; however, in many cases, the information they provide needs to be revised for the analyses we want to perform. This article will evaluate five of the most useful APIs for obtaining large-scale geographic data. We will assess their usage, advantages and disadvantages, and the main applications of the information they provide. Think of this article as a fundamental foundation for the use and applications of these APIs, so that you can later delve deeper into all the tools they offer. 1. Overpass The Overpass API allows access to the information available on the OpenStreetMap website. OpenStreetMap is an open geographic database, containing a wide range of geospatial data, from information about underground routes to road, mountain, or river locations. The data available in OpenStreetMaps is open and is maintained by users across the globe, therefore, the level of completeness depends heavily on the region, since there are areas where we can find more active users and therefore the platform has more data. However, the degree of completeness is in most cases high, allowing us to gather a lot of information for our geographic analyses. The Overpass API uses a language called Overpass QL for designing the queries for accessing the data available on OpenStreetMap. This highly customizable language allows us to create specific queries to access only the information of interest for our analysis from the platform. Advantages Completely free: because OpenStreetMap is an open database, the use of the API is also completely free. Flexible queries: queries can be highly customized using the Overpass QL language to access only the information of interest. Other aspects, such as the data output format, can also be customized in the query. Also, through the query, you can easily filter the geographic data you want to obtain, as well as the search area for such data. Global data: OpenStreetMap contains global data, as a consequence, the information accessible through the API is not limited to specific regions. Disadvantages Quality of the returned API data: the OpenStreetMap platform, as mentioned before, is an open website maintained by volunteers. Therefore, the data quality depends on the users, which as a result can lead to incomplete data in certain regions where...
