What this directory is and how it works

What is Geospatial Directory?

Geospatial Directory is a curated index of organizations and open resources in the geospatial field — covering GIS software, satellite imagery, LiDAR, remote sensing, spatial analytics, drone mapping, location intelligence, and more. It is designed to help professionals, researchers, and developers quickly find relevant companies and data sources worldwide.

What's included

The directory is organized into two sections:

  • Companies — geospatial service providers, software vendors, satellite operators, consulting firms, and data companies from around the world.
  • Resources — open datasets, APIs, tile services, STAC catalogs, OGC services, hosted platforms, and browser tools available to developers and analysts.

Inclusion criteria

This is not a paid directory — inclusion is editorial, not commercial, and listings are reviewed against the organization's own site rather than the text of a submission.

Companies are listed when:

  • their primary activity is geospatial — not a minor division of a larger business;
  • an operating entity is identifiable, whether a registered company or an organization;
  • they have a verifiable, active website.

Government agencies are listed as resources rather than companies.

Resources are listed when they offer their own dataset, API, service, platform, or tool. A site that presents data published by someone else, without adding data or software of its own, falls outside this section.

An organization can appear in both sections — the company in one, a named product of theirs in the other — but only when the resource entry carries something the company entry cannot: an endpoint, an access tier, the formats it serves. Where a company is a single product, it is listed once.
