Geoutil.com – Measure distances, areas, and convert geo data in the browser

I built GeoUtil.com to provide a free, browser-based toolkit for geographic data analysis.

It offers: - Interactive Map Tools: Measure distances and areas directly on the map. - Data Format Converters: Convert between TopoJSON and GeoJSON formats seamlessly. - Coordinate Utilities: Perform conversions and other coordinate-based operations.

No sign-up required, and all tools run client-side for privacy and speed.

Built with open standards and designed for developers, educators, and anyone interested in geographic data.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome!

you should have made it a Show HN, thanks for the discovery and for paintmymap!

à propos the distance tool, please let the user:

- type coordinate pairs by hand

- copy coordinates entered by clicking

otherwise, it's a great tool!

Is it AI coded (aka derivative of illegally slurped-up third-party code)?

I made something like this around 10 years ago to show wireless frequency coverage, luckily the country I was living in is small enough and close to the equator, I didn't support the curvature of the earth so I can't start to imagine how difficult it must have been to visualize it in the browser https://sourceforge.net/projects/waire/ in my case the earth was kinda flat lol, it was fun parsing the map data available back then and playing with SVGs, back then the rendering engine from Opera browser was unmatched

What are your future plans? Will you open source the code? Will deploy a library that everybody could implement it in their apps…etc??
cwmma•1h ago
If you read the about page it lists the open source tools it used to make it, primarily turf.js so a library for others to do it already exists.
