FEATURES

Distributed Version Control

Manage edits and updates to your geospatial and tabular data — easily and securely.

Distributed Version Control for Data


Koordinates offers version control for geospatial and tabular data using Kart, our open source project built on Git.

  • Using Kart, Koordinates stores geospatial and tabular data in Git, providing version control at the row and cell level.

  • Unlike other distributed data solutions, Kart isn’t inspired by Git — it’s built on Git, taking advantage of an established open source project.
Built on Git, works like Git


If you know Git, you'll feel right at home with Kart. (And if you don't, we make it easy with our Desktop App.)

  • Kart uses standard Git repositories and Git-like CLI commands.

  • Kart operations are performed locally — a huge advantage over server-based systems.
Supports GIS workflows


Koordinates works seamlessly with your existing geospatial workflows and technology stack.

  • Koordinates provides repository working copies as GIS databases and files.

  • Anyone can edit data directly in common GIS software, without plugins.
