Geospatial Technology and Web Mapping

Geospatial Technology and Web Mapping encompass the use of geographic information systems (GIS), JavaScript libraries, and various mapping technologies to create, analyze, and display geographical data on the web. This field integrates spatial data analysis, interactive map visualization, and location-based services using platforms like OpenStreetMap and tools such as Leaflet, Mapbox, and OpenLayers. Applications range from environmental monitoring to urban planning and navigation services.

Ranks are based on the open source contributions and reassessed every 30 days
