OrbGIS is a complete web GIS platform: publish your data, build maps and web apps, and share them with your organization or the world. No sales calls. No credit systems. No 300-page license agreement.
Upload your data and add it to maps to build dashboards, Journeys or high-quality print layouts, or switch a map to 3D with real terrain, buildings and laser point clouds. Publish surveys and collect in the field with OrbGIS Mobile, and show off everything you publish on a public site of your own. Everything lives in one portal, with folders, groups, roles and search built in.
Every OrbGIS app works from the same layers, the same portal, the same sharing model. Build once, publish everywhere.
Your maps in 3D, on real terrain
A public website for everything you publish
Field work, straight from the phone
Your layers stream as vector tiles, smooth at every zoom level, whether it's ten points or ten million polygons. OrbGIS builds level-of-detail pyramids automatically at upload, so the dense national dataset that chokes other platforms just… renders.
Data-driven colors and custom symbology, feature filtering, label and popup configuration, access to related features, field management, and direct map image export.
The horsepower under the hood makes rendering your data completely smooth and buffer-free, no matter if it's millions of features.
You work with and visualize your data in your chosen coordinate system, you're never locked to WGS84, always free to use whatever's right for your region and your data.
Upload Shapefile, GeoPackage, GeoParquet, GeoJSON, KML or CSV, OrbGIS handles projection, indexing and tiling automatically. Multi-gigabyte national datasets are welcome.
We're not trying to lock you into a browser. The OrbGIS Desktop Connector is a free QGIS plugin that connects your portal to the world's most popular desktop GIS.
OrbGIS covers what most organizations actually use ArcGIS Online for: hosted layers, web maps, dashboards, surveys and story maps. Without credits, user-type tiers or a reseller in between.

No bundles, no credit systems, no "contact sales." You'll never need a spreadsheet to understand your GIS invoice.
You'll be talking to the developers who ship the product, not a ticket queue with 100 layers between you and a fix.
A site, a 3D map and the three apps the site gathers, all published straight from OrbGIS. Open them in your browser, no sign-up, nothing to install.
Page BuilderA site is your organization’s public front door: the maps, dashboards, stories and surveys you publish, gathered under one address with your own menu and theme. This one is a research atlas; municipalities use the same blocks for a map portal.
