GeoLibre helps you visualize and explore geospatial information. You can use this software to look at maps, analyze geographic data, and create reports. It works on your desktop computer, in your web browser, or on your mobile device. The application uses modern technology to keep your maps fast and responsive.
This guide shows you how to set up GeoLibre on your Windows computer.
Follow these steps to install the app on your computer.
Your computer needs to meet these basic standards to run GeoLibre smoothly:
Once you launch the software, you will see a map interface. You can drag the map with your mouse to move around. Use the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom in and out.
To add your own data, click the “Add Layer” button located in the top menu. This lets you upload files like GeoJSON or CSV files. The software processes these files locally using a database engine called DuckDB. This keeps your data private and helps the app run faster.
If you have complex datasets, the analysis tools allow you to filter information by specific regions or categories. You can save your work at any time using the “Save Project” option.
Most users do not face problems, but you can follow these steps if the app does not open:
Do I need a paid account? No. GeoLibre is free for all users.
Can I run this without internet? The software runs on your machine, but you need internet to download map tiles from external sources.
Does it track my data? No. Your data stays on your local device.
Is it compatible with Jupyter notebooks? Yes. You can link your notebook environment to the GeoLibre engine.
