MapStore, a year in review
2021-09-30, 16:00–16:30, Humahuaca

MapStore is an open source product developed for creating, saving and sharing in a simple and intuitive way maps, dashboards, charts and geostories, directly online in your browser.

MapStore is built on top of React and Redux, it is cross-browser and mobile ready; it does not explicitly depend on any mapping engine but it supports both OpenLayers, Leaflet and Cesium; additional engines could also be supported (MapBox GL is in the working).

The presentation will give an overview of the product, covering current and planned functionalities as well as a few case studies.


MapStore is an open source product developed for creating, saving and sharing in a simple and intuitive way maps, dashboards, charts and geostories directly online in your browser. MapStore is cross-browser and mobile ready, it allows users to:
- Search and load geospatial content served using widely used protocols (WMS, WFS, WMTS, CSW) and formats (GML, Shapefile, GeoJSON, etc..)
- Manage maps (create, modify, share, delete, search), charts, dashboard and stories directly online
- Manage users, groups and their permissions over the various resources MapStore can manage
- Edit data online via WFS-T with advanced filtering capabilities
- Deeply customize the look&feel to follow strict corporate guidelines
and much more….

You can use MapStore as a product to deploy simple geoportals by using the standard functionalities it provides but you can also use MapStore as a framework to develop sophisticated webgis portals by reusing and extending its core building blocks.

MapStore is built on top of React and Redux, at its core it does not explicitly depend on any mapping engine but it can support both OpenLayers, Leaflet and Cesium; additional mapping engines could be also supported (MapBox GL is in the working) to avoid any tight dependency on a single engine.

The presentation will give the audience an extensive overview of the MapStore functionalities for the creation of mapping portals, covering both previous work as well work for the future releases. Eventually, a range of MapStore case studies will be presented to demonstrate what our clients (like City of Genova, City of Florence, Halliburton, Austrocontrol and more) and partners are achieving with it.
