Build, test, and understand maps in one place
Workspaces are where maps become something you can shape directly. They sit between a quick note and a finished published story. They are designed to help people learn how spatial data works while they experiment.
What a workspace is
A workspace is a map environment for drawing, organizing, editing, and understanding geography.
It gives you a place to work with geometry, layers, JSON, and map providers without needing to publish immediately.
The map surface
Every workspace includes a live map surface. You can switch between Mapbox and Google Maps. These are base surfaces. Your geometry appears on top of them.
Switching surfaces helps you understand how the same spatial data behaves in different systems.
Geometry
Geometry is how a spatial idea takes visible form on the map. A workspace lets you place and shape geometry directly on the earth.
Layers
Layers organize meaning. Instead of placing every idea into one group, layers let you separate different kinds of information.
Learning JSON visually
Every shape in a workspace is backed by structured data. Workspaces are designed to help people connect visible map behavior to underlying JSON.
