Importing GIS data

Imported data becomes a layer: styleable on the map, queryable in SQL, and usable as a snapping target when you draw a network.

KindFormats
VectorGeoJSON, GeoPackage, Shapefile (zipped), CSV with coordinates
RasterCloud-optimised GeoTIFF (COG)

Vector files are read in the browser and converted to a table you can query. Nothing is sent anywhere — the parse happens locally, which is why large files are limited by your machine’s memory rather than an upload quota.

Data is reprojected on import. If a layer lands in the wrong place, the usual cause is a missing or incorrect projection definition in the source file rather than the import itself.
