Free GIS Mapping Tools, Right in Your Browser
Maplity is a collection of 15 free, browser-based Geographic Information System (GIS) tools for working with maps and spatial data. Every tool runs entirely client-side — there is no software to install, no account to create, and no file upload to a remote server. You open a tool, do the work, and close the tab.
The toolkit covers the tasks that come up most often in everyday mapping work: finding the elevation of a point, measuring distance and area, converting between GPX, KML, and Shapefile formats, plotting latitude/longitude coordinates, locating EV chargers, reading GPS metadata from photos, and looking up postal codes or UK administrative boundaries. Each tool is purpose-built for one job rather than bundled into a general-purpose GIS suite, so there is no learning curve — you can typically get an answer within seconds of opening the page.
What Is GIS Mapping?
A Geographic Information System (GIS) captures, stores, and analyzes data tied to a location on Earth. In practice, that means working with formats like GPX (GPS tracks), KML (Google Earth placemarks and paths), and Shapefiles (the standard format for administrative boundaries and survey data), and being able to answer spatial questions — how far apart are two points, what is the elevation at this coordinate, what area does this polygon cover, or which local authority does this address fall within. GIS tools traditionally required desktop software such as QGIS or ArcGIS; Maplity brings the most common of those operations directly into a web browser.
Who Uses These Tools?
- Surveyors and field workers — quick elevation and coordinate lookups without a laptop.
- Hikers and outdoor planners — checking a route's elevation profile or converting a GPX track.
- Developers and analysts — converting between GPX, KML, and GeoJSON for use in other software.
- Researchers and students — exploring UK administrative boundary data and demographics.
- EV drivers — finding nearby charging stations before a trip.
Why Browser-Based Tools Matter
Because processing happens on your own device, files like GPX tracks, Shapefiles, or photos with embedded GPS metadata are never transmitted to a server for the core conversion or calculation logic. That keeps the tools fast — there is no upload wait — and keeps sensitive location data under your control. It also means the tools work the same way on a desktop, tablet, or phone, since all that is required is a modern web browser.
