Roadmap

Available today

GeoLens is a complete, self-hosted geospatial catalog. The core platform is stable and in active use:

Catalog & discovery: upload Shapefiles, GeoTIFFs, GeoPackages, CSVs, and more; semantic search (pgvector) and fuzzy search (pg_trgm) across metadata.
Standards & interop: OGC API Features and Records, plus STAC, consumable natively from QGIS, ArcGIS, and any OGC client.
Map Builder: compose vector, raster, and DEM layers; data-driven styling; 3D terrain; share links and embeddable map tokens.
Raster pipeline: Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF tiling via Titiler, VRT mosaics, hillshade and terrain rendering.
Automation: the CLI & manifests and Python / TypeScript SDKs for scripted and CI-driven ingestion.
Operations: multi-user RBAC, OAuth/OIDC, API keys, one-command Docker Compose deploy, and a community-maintained Helm chart for Kubernetes.
AI (optional): embedding-backed semantic search and natural-language map generation, fully optional and provider-agnostic.

Exploring next

These are themes under active investigation. They are candidates, not promises. Scope and ordering may change.

More 3D: first-class 3D Tiles and Gaussian splat layers on a unified rendering substrate, extending today’s DEM-based 3D terrain.
More vector formats: broader ingestion coverage, including the DuckDB ecosystem and additional GDAL-native formats (FlatGeobuf, File Geodatabase, KML/KMZ). GeoParquet now round-trips: export shipped in 1.4.6 and ingest in the current release — see Importing data and Exports & Integrations.
Server-side map thumbnails: generated previews for API- and multi-user-created maps without a browser in the loop.
Map Builder extensibility: a cleaner layer-adapter and widget model so the builder and the read-only viewer share one styling pipeline.

What’s not planned

To set expectations clearly: GeoLens is built for single-organization, self-hosted deployments: deployed per organization, not sold per seat. Running GeoLens as a shared hosted service is not part of the open platform.

Help shape it

The roadmap is shaped by how people actually use GeoLens. If a theme above matters to you, or one you need is missing, open a discussion or issue. Real use cases move items up the list.
