FELT: A Browser-based Mapping Tool

FELT is introduced as a browser-based mapping tool that sets itself apart with an 'upload anything' button, allowing users to upload any type of file without having to worry about data format, coordinate systems, or transformations. The tool uses a pipeline with machine learning capabilities to automatically process and display various file types, such as shapefiles, geoJSON, spreadsheets, URLs, and more. FELT also boasts real-time collaboration features, enabling multiple users to work on a map simultaneously and facilitating data sharing and collaboration among team members. The tool is positioned to serve three main audiences: GIS professionals seeking easier map sharing and collaboration, individuals needing to create maps without prior GIS experience, and consumers looking for a user-friendly platform for personal map projects. FELT plans to monetize its offering through tiered pricing, while maintaining a free tier for consumers and an affordable tier for beginners.
