Choose a sample for your first GIS map

Use polygons to explore boundaries, points to compare locations, and lines to follow rivers or networks. These examples let you inspect real coordinates and attributes before bringing in your own files.

Open, inspect and download

  1. Select Open in Studio to load a supported layer.
  2. Zoom to the data, select a feature and inspect its attributes. Adjust the layer style to compare values.
  3. Use Download data for the source file. Check the linked provider’s license before sharing your map.

GeoJSON describes vector features; CSV samples use coordinate columns; KMZ can include embedded styles and icons. PMTiles serves tiled content. Orbital TLE and 3D Tiles examples have different viewing requirements.

GIS sample data FAQ

Where can I download GIS sample data?

Choose a dataset below and use Download data for the original file, or Dataset details for its coverage and license. This collection includes hosted GIS examples and public-source samples used by GeoDataViewer Studio.

Which sample should I use to learn GeoJSON?

Start with Natural Earth country boundaries or populated places. Country polygons demonstrate geometry and attributes; place points are useful for learning coordinates, labels and map styling. The US states sample is another small boundary layer.

How do I open sample data in the browser?

Select Open in Studio on a supported sample. Studio loads its data URL and displays the layer on a map. You can inspect records and style the layer. You can also download the file and drag it into Studio yourself.

Do the screenshots show the actual data?

Yes. Every sample image shows data rendered on a map or in a 3D map scene. Orbital previews use satellite positions calculated from the source TLE snapshot, with the calculation time stated in the caption. Screenshots are snapshots; live feeds and source files can change after capture.

Are all samples free to reuse commercially?

Access and reuse terms differ. Natural Earth data is public domain, while other providers may require attribution or impose restrictions. Follow each sample’s source and license notes before redistributing data or using it in a commercial project.

Can I open TLE and 3D Tiles samples as GeoJSON?

No. TLE files contain orbital elements and are linked to their dataset pages. The Cesium example is a 3D Tiles tileset intended for a compatible 3D viewer. Neither format is a GeoJSON feature collection.
