Airfree Maps

Next-Generation Navigation and Spatial Visualisation

A full-stack mapping platform — interactive web maps, 3D globe, geocoding, routing, and offline-capable PWA — built on open standards and designed for enterprise scale.

Product Features

Everything a mapping platform should be

Eight core capabilities — each production-hardened and independently configurable — covering every use case from simple embed maps to full-featured navigation applications.

Interactive Web Maps

High-performance vector and raster tile rendering in the browser using MapLibre GL, with full WebGL acceleration and sub-second tile load times.

  • MapLibre GL engine
  • Vector & raster tile layers
  • Custom style editor
  • Real-time data overlays

3D Earth Globe

CesiumJS-powered photorealistic 3D globe with terrain, satellite imagery, 3D Tiles, and live sensor overlays for digital twin visualisation.

  • CesiumJS / Cesium ion
  • 3D Tiles 1.1 streaming
  • Photogrammetry models
  • Time-series animation

Turn-by-Turn Navigation

OSRM and Valhalla-backed routing engine delivering real-time turn-by-turn directions with live traffic integration and multi-modal support.

  • Car, bike & pedestrian
  • Live traffic layer
  • Multi-waypoint routing
  • Voice-guided navigation

Geocoding & Search

Airfree Geocoding API resolves addresses, place names, and coordinates at national scale with sub-50 ms median response times.

  • Forward & reverse geocoding
  • Autocomplete suggestions
  • Multi-country coverage
  • Offline fallback index

Routing & Isochrones

Compute optimal routes, travel-time isochrones, and distance matrices across national road networks using pgRouting-powered graph algorithms.

  • Turn restrictions
  • Travel-time isochrones
  • Distance matrices
  • Fleet optimisation

Satellite Imagery

Cloud-optimised GeoTIFF basemaps and STAC-catalogued Sentinel-2 composites updated on a rolling cycle, served as OGC-compliant tile layers.

  • 10 m Sentinel-2 ARD
  • True-colour & NDVI
  • Temporal composites
  • WMTS & XYZ endpoints

Offline Maps

Download regions for fully offline use — vector tiles, routing graphs, and geocoding indexes bundled into a single portable package.

  • Region-based packages
  • Delta update syncing
  • IndexedDB tile cache
  • Background refresh

OGC Tile Services

Full OGC API — Tiles, WMTS, and XYZ endpoint compatibility means Airfree Maps integrates cleanly with any desktop GIS or enterprise portal.

  • OGC API — Tiles
  • WMTS 1.0
  • XYZ / TMS endpoints
  • INSPIRE-compliant metadata

3D / Digital Twin

City-scale 3D models, live in the browser

The Airfree Maps 3D viewer is powered by CesiumJS and streams city-scale digital twin models directly to the browser over 3D Tiles 1.1 — no plugin, no download, no compromise on fidelity.

Urban planners, infrastructure operators, and emergency services use the digital twin viewer to overlay live IoT feeds, simulate environmental conditions, and inspect building-level detail at metropolitan scale in a single session.

Platform Architecture

Open standards, developer-first

Airfree Maps is built on MapLibre GL, OGC-compliant tile services, and a clean REST API — so every integration is straightforward and every tile is portable.

MapLibre GL Foundation

Built on the open-source MapLibre GL JS engine — GPU-accelerated vector rendering, smooth 60 fps interactions, and full WebGL compositing at every zoom level.

REST API

Clean, versioned REST API covering maps, geocoding, routing, and tile management. OpenAPI 3.1 schema published; rate limits and SLAs documented per endpoint.

JavaScript SDK

Typed JavaScript and TypeScript SDK with React hooks and Web Component wrappers for embedding interactive maps in any frontend framework with a three-line integration.

Embedded Maps SDK

Self-hosted SDK bundle for air-gapped deployments. Embed fully functional maps, geocoding, and routing inside government intranet portals without external network calls.

Progressive Web App

The Airfree Maps PWA installs on any device via the browser — no app store required. Service worker caching enables full offline functionality after first load.

Tile Endpoint Compatibility

All tile endpoints conform to OGC API — Tiles and WMTS, ensuring drop-in compatibility with ArcGIS, QGIS, GeoServer, and any OGC-compliant client.

Use Cases

Built for organisations that depend on maps

From citizen portals to logistics operations, Airfree Maps powers spatial workflows across government, enterprise, and critical infrastructure sectors.

Government Portals

National and local government agencies use Airfree Maps to publish parcel, planning, and infrastructure layers to citizens via embeddable, accessible map portals.

Logistics & Field Operations

Fleet operators and field crews rely on live routing, real-time traffic, and offline-capable navigation to coordinate last-mile delivery and on-site inspections.

Urban Planning Dashboards

Planners overlay zoning, land-use, demographic, and environmental datasets on a single interactive canvas — then export report-ready map exports in one click.

Real Estate Platforms

Property portals integrate geocoding, boundary layers, and satellite imagery to power address search, comparable-sales maps, and neighbourhood analytics.

Developer Experience

From zero to embedded map in three lines

The Airfree Maps JavaScript SDK ships with full TypeScript types, React hooks, and Web Component wrappers. OpenAPI 3.1 schemas cover every REST endpoint. Tile endpoints are compatible with any MapLibre, Leaflet, or OGC client.

Self-hosted SDK bundles allow deployment in air-gapped environments. All offline tile, routing, and geocoding packages are downloadable for intranet portal integrations with no external network dependency at runtime.
