Map Studio

Map Studio

Compose it, style it, publish it — stakeholder maps, print layouts and living embeds from your browser, with nothing to install.

Maps and workspaces in OrionGIS
Benefits

The whole map, made in the browser.

Everything in the browser

Layers, symbology, feature editing and print layouts where the work happens — no desktop install, no plugin, no version to chase.

Publish in one click

Send a map to stakeholders, embed it anywhere, and keep the access rules you set at publish time.

Open data, both ways

Import Shapefile and GeoJSON, draw straight onto the map, and export what you make in open formats.

Features

Everything between raw layers and a published map.

Layers, styling and editing

Style by attribute, label features and edit geometry in the browser — the map is the workspace, not a picture of one.

Start free
Print-ready layouts

Compose a finished map — title, legend, scale, north arrow — and print or export it without leaving the browser.

Publish and embed

Publish to stakeholders in one click and embed the live map in a report, a site or a dashboard — it stays current.

Coordinate systems handled

Reproject on the fly against open standards, so layers from different sources line up on the same map.

Use cases

Maps that used to take a licence and a week.

Aerial view of an urban area in Kenya
A county planning unit publishes the spatial plan as one living map

Boundaries, settlements and project sites are styled in the browser for a non-technical audience and published in one click, with access set per audience — planners, ward committees, the public. Revising the plan means republishing it, so the map a ward committee opens is the current plan, not a PDF from a previous revision.

A utility gives its field crews printed network maps that match the live map

A distributor composes its network against terrain and settlement layers in the browser and builds the print layout — title, legend, scale, north arrow — without a desktop licence in the loop. Crews work from the same symbology the office sees, and keeping the set current is a republish rather than a redraw.

Aerial view of a lake and shoreline
A conservation organisation embeds one map that stays the current picture

Its boundary, habitat and monitoring layers go onto its own website as a living embed, with access rules set at publish time. Field monitoring submissions appear on that map as they sync, so what partners and the public see is current without anyone rebuilding a layout or re-uploading files.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is Map Studio?

The web editor inside OrionGIS for making maps: layers, styling, feature editing and print layouts, with one-click publishing and embeds. It runs in the browser — there is nothing to install.

Do we need desktop GIS to use it?

No. Map Studio covers styling, editing and print layouts in the browser, and every layer stays available in the desktop client you already use through OGC services and a direct QGIS plugin.

Can maps stay private?

Yes. Access is set per map and per layer with roles and permissions — publish to a team, to a single link, or to the public web.
