Processing Engine

1 features
  • Microsoft Planetary Computer

    service

    Browses Planetary Computer STAC collections and adds imagery or GeoParquet items as map layers. Azure GeoParquet assets use a short-lived SAS URL only for loading; the token is never saved in the project.

Map, Editing & Analysis

16 features
  • Layer Control

    Displays overlaid layers on the map to compare stacking order and visibility.

  • Geometry Editor

    Edit geometries with seven draw modes, vertex editing, rotate/scale, split, union, difference, lasso select and 50-step undo/redo.

  • MappStock

    Organizes and digitizes parcel information into cadastral features with guided workflows.

  • Annotations

    Adds notes, markers, and graphics to the map to communicate observations; the toolbar can collapse to leave room for other map controls. Active add-on required.

  • Basemaps

    Switches the cartographic context beneath operational layers. Active add-on required.

  • Temporal Control

    Filters or animates date-enabled layers to reveal change over time. Layer with temporal dimension required.

  • Timelapse

    Converts a time series of images into an animation or video. Temporal data and compatible video format required.

  • Compare Layers

    Splits two layers with a slider to reveal differences between them. Saved project assignments resolve stable Meratyn layer IDs to their rendered companion style layers on reopen, leave unrendered IDs pending, and avoid sibling source layers; not usable with split view.

  • H3 Grid

    Generates an H3 hexagonal mesh to aggregate and visualize data per cell. Adequate map extent required.

  • Elevation Profile

    Calculates the height profile along a line to study slopes and relief. Elevation data required.

  • Street View

    Consult street-level panoramas at any location through Google Street View or Mapillary. Requires API credentials in settings.

  • Mapillary

    Explores geolocated street photos and sequences as visual evidence. Token or coverage required where applicable.

  • Historical Imagery

    Selects an aerial imagery date to compare territory between periods. Depends on service coverage.

  • Overture Maps

    Searches Overture features by area, applies filters, and adds them as reference data. Service availability required.

  • GeoAgent

    Performs assisted geospatial searches to locate relevant resources. Configured provider required.

  • USGS LiDAR

    Locates USGS point cloud coverage, streams selected LiDAR resources, and exports bounded EPT clips as COPC files or reproducible PDAL pipeline artifacts.

Web Services

17 features
  • FEMA NFHL

    Discovers public catalogs from STAC Index, searches collections and items, and adds supported assets anonymously. This explorer is distinct from the concrete STAC URL / COG entry in Add Data.

  • Vantor Open Data

    Searches Vantor's public STAC event catalog anonymously by phase or map extent and adds COG scenes or their footprints.

  • Planet Open Data

    Opens the public Planet disaster STAC catalog anonymously, searches collections and items, and adds supported assets as project layers without requiring a catalog URL.

  • Source Cooperative

    Searches public Source Cooperative products anonymously, browses their files, and streams supported cloud formats or adds a bounded copy to the project.

  • Hugging Face

    Browses public Hub datasets anonymously and adds supported files. An explicitly saved local token enables private listings, repository creation, and uploads when permitted; the token is never written to a Meratyn project.

  • GeoLens

    Connects to a GeoLens deployment, searches vector and raster datasets, adds tiles or bounded GeoJSON, and edits features when permitted. API keys stay in memory; reconnect after reload or plugin restart to restore protected layers.

  • Online Layers

    Publishes local files and reopens shared or saved Meratyn layers. Public links work anonymously; private catalogs use the app's Meratyn connection, never credentials embedded in a share URL or project source.

  • ArcGIS Hub

    service

    Searches paged public ArcGIS Hub Feature Service, GeoJSON, CSV, Shapefile, KML, and File Geodatabase datasets anonymously. Supported Feature Service and GeoJSON records can be added to the map, while public downloads remain available for the six searched types.

  • Socrata

    service

    Search bounded public Socrata catalogs anonymously and add supported GeoJSON resources as map layers.

  • CKAN

    service

    Search the bounded public Humanitarian Data Exchange CKAN catalog anonymously and add supported GeoJSON resources as map layers.

  • Natural Earth

    service

    Open the curated public Natural Earth product in Source Cooperative anonymously, then stream supported files or add a bounded copy.

AI vision

1 features
  • SamGeo

    service

    Segment a selected raster with text, foreground and background points, a bounding box, or automatic masks, then publish the result as a layer. The build-only operator runtime uses [samgeo-runtime] on Python 3.12+ with segment-geospatial[api,samgeo3]==1.4.2; model weights are not bundled or serialized, so operators supply them, accept their terms, and set both readiness flags.

Hosted Layers

1 features
  • Publish Hosted Layers

    service
