GeoCat Map
Publish once through open standards. Work everywhere.
[ GeoCat Map ]
Publish once. Work everywhere.
Map serves your geospatial layers through WMS, WFS, WCS and OGC API, so any system that speaks open standards can pull them in without conversion or extra work. Built for large datasets, heavy traffic and many simultaneous requests.
[ Why Map ]
Built to serve, at scale
One source, every protocol
Your layers go out through WMS, WFS, WCS and OGC API at once. QGIS, ArcGIS, web viewers and national portals all speak what Map serves. Nothing needs translating on either end.
Built for heavy traffic
A national geoportal pulling from dozens of sources; a water authority serving many partner organisations at once. Map is built for large volumes, high concurrency and continuous availability.
Styled and configurable
Layers can be styled, filtered and configured per audience and use case. What a developer sees can differ from what a citizen portal displays, served from the same source.
Reliable and monitored
Map runs as part of the GeoCat Live platform, with the same uptime guarantees, security patching and monitoring as the rest of your infrastructure.

Questions about GeoCat Map
Other questions
Let us know
Esri is a closed, proprietary platform. GeoCat Live is built on open source software and open standards. That means no licence fees for the underlying technology, no vendor lock-in and full control over your data. Your data stays in open formats, published through standards that any system can use, so you are never dependent on a single supplier to keep your infrastructure running. For organisations working under INSPIRE or national geospatial requirements, GeoCat Live meets those standards out of the box.
It means the software is transparent, independently verifiable and not controlled by a single commercial party. You can inspect the code, audit what it does and be confident it will not change direction because a vendor decided to reprice or discontinue a product. It also means the software is tested by thousands of users worldwide every day. When one organisation funds a new feature, it goes back to the community, and the next organisation inherits it for free.
With cloud hosting, GeoCat runs and maintains the platform on your behalf: a fully managed environment with automatic updates, security patching, monitoring and a 99.9% uptime SLA. With on-premise, GeoCat Live is installed within your own infrastructure, so you keep full control over your environment, meet your internal compliance requirements and decide exactly where your data lives. Both options run the same platform. The difference is location and who manages the infrastructure.
GeoCat offers onboarding, quarterly consultation and up to 5 years of life-cycle support. Furthermore we pro-actively monitor and resolve vulnerabilities, inform customers of mitigation procedures and more. A support desk is available for questions and issues.
No. GeoCat Live is a managed platform. We handle the setup, the hosting, the updates and the security, so your team works with the data, not the infrastructure. For specialists who manage data day to day, Bridge connects directly to QGIS or ArcGIS Desktop. For end users, Find makes data searchable in plain language. No knowledge of WFS endpoints or metadata schemas required.
