Map viewers and spatial data for the whole organisation
Maps, dashboards, fieldwork and participation for decision-makers, citizens and teams, not only the GIS department. Insight, registration, public consultation, analysis and reporting on the map, without wrapping everything around one vendor.
From municipalities to multinationals: more than 10,000 users across 300+ organizations use daily applications from MapGear and partners, built on the GeoApps platform.
Short answers to the most common questions about GeoApps.
What is GeoApps?
GeoApps is a powerful, flexible platform for building, managing, and deploying map-driven applications that transform how organizations work with spatial data. Our core products include Dashboard for real-time data visualization and analytics, Viewer for interactive map exploration and sharing, Fieldwork for mobile data collection in the field, MapTalk for guided storytelling with maps, and TouchTable for collaborative touchscreen experiences. Unlike traditional GIS software, GeoApps focuses on user experience and accessibility, making complex spatial data understandable and actionable for everyone from field workers to executives. Organizations use GeoApps to streamline workflows, improve decision-making, and create engaging experiences for stakeholders and citizens.
Is GeoApps a SaaS?
Yes. GeoApps is MapGear’s web GIS: hosted maps, dashboards, fieldwork and participation as a subscription, with optional implementation and support. It is not desktop GIS and not a lead-generation service. Specialists can keep working in QGIS or ArcGIS Pro; GeoApps publishes the same data to the rest of the organisation. MapGear also offers MapTalk, MapServices, TouchTable and ESG Maps in the same product family.
Is GeoApps a European alternative to ArcGIS Online?
Yes. GeoApps is MapGear’s Web GIS from the Netherlands: publish maps, dashboards and fieldwork for the whole organization. Desktop GIS such as QGIS or ArcGIS Pro, and existing databases and services, stay alongside it. Organizations use GeoApps as a European alternative to ArcGIS Online, or next to ArcGIS Pro. Architecture, open standards and a comparison are in the knowledge base under European alternative to ArcGIS.
Does GeoApps work with QGIS and open standards?
Yes. Specialists keep analysing in QGIS; Viewer and the rest of GeoApps publish the same data to teams and external users. A QGIS plugin moves work between desktop and web. GeoApps supports open specifications such as WMS, WMTS and WFS. It is not an OGC product or member. Your data, services and desktop tools stay yours.
How can I request a demo?
Requesting a demo is straightforward and personalized to your needs. Visit our demo page and fill out the contact form with details about your organization, current challenges, and goals. We'll respond within one business day to schedule a call and understand your specific requirements. During the demo, we'll show relevant use cases, demonstrate integrations with your existing systems, and discuss implementation approaches. For organizations with complex needs, we can arrange extended sessions, pilot programs, or on-site demonstrations. The process is obligation-free, and many organizations use it to evaluate multiple solutions before making decisions.
What do you need from us to get started?
We mainly need clarity on what you want to achieve. Request advice and we start with an intake: define the goal and schedule conversations. We then help with GIS consulting, datasets from MapServices and Duurzaamheidskaart, and training and adoption.
How quickly can we get started?
A GIS Viewer is typically live within a few weeks when the use case and data sources are clear. If data or consulting work is needed, or a broader setup with integrations, access and training, that typically takes two to eight weeks. Support continues after go-live.
What if GeoApps isn't the right fit?
You decide that, not us. A demo or short pilot is there to show whether Viewer, Fieldwork or MapTalk actually helps your teams. We work with organisations that already have GIS data or a clear map question: municipalities, provinces, utilities and engineering firms. If it isn't a match, we say so. There is no obligation after the first conversation.
