🌍✨ The future of geospatial AI is coming closer

🚀 NaLaMap v0.2.0 is live!
With this release, we’ve made working with geospatial data more intuitive, powerful, and enjoyable than ever.

✨ What’s New

Smarter Data Discovery: Connect your own GeoServer to NaLaMap & find datasets by meaning, not filenames. Example: ask “Show me datasets on forests” and the Map Assistant finds semantically relevant data.

Intelligent Analysis: Chat with your attribute tables. Filter, subset, extract, or create new layers with natural language (e.g., “Which protected areas are IUCN Category IV?”).

Custom UI: Cleaner interface with collapsible panels, light/dark mode, and full branding options—design your map UI your way.

More AI Power: Choose your AI provider, customise tools and system prompts, and turn NaLaMap into your personal geospatial intelligence assistant—without any code.

🐛 Fixes & Improvements

Smarter tool selection for faster and more reliable GIS analysis.

Extended and more reliable geo-processing (buffer, clip, union, dissolve, etc) using only natural language.

Better performance with larger datasets thanks to backend- and UI improvements.

Cloud-ready Docker images, automated pipelines, daily security updates, and near-full test coverage (frontend, backend, E2E).
