Collaborative cloud GIS for maps, spatial apps, and dashboards.

Felt is a browser-based GIS platform for creating maps, geospatial dashboards, and lightweight spatial applications. It supports file uploads, cloud database connections, geocoding, styling, sharing controls, comments, embeds, exports, and developer workflows through a Python SDK and QGIS plug-in.

Why it stands out

  • Combines web mapping, dashboarding, app-style sharing, and GIS data handling in one cloud workspace.
  • Connects directly to modern data warehouses and cloud storage rather than requiring manual export/import cycles.
  • Automatically handles common prep steps such as address geocoding, boundary matching, and geometry-column detection.
  • Collaboration features are built around live shared maps, including permissions, comments, embeds, and public feedback.
  • Keeps links to professional GIS workflows through data exports, a Python SDK, and a QGIS plug-in.

Good to know

  • As a cloud-hosted platform, it may not suit teams that require fully offline GIS workflows.
  • The page states data is stored in the U.S., which may matter for organizations with non-U.S. residency requirements.
  • Enterprise controls such as SSO appear to be tied to higher-level organizational access rather than the basic free start.
