An optimized user experience thanks to My Planet Maps, a new online mapping service
CLERMONT-FERRAND, France – September 21, 2021 – PlanetObserver and Kalisio today unveiled My Planet Maps: a new subscription-based online map service that provides immediate access to recent, global data. The platform encompasses high-performance vector and raster maps. By accessing data through this highly reliable web map service, users save the costs of handling, storing, and updating their data in-house.
Optimize your GIS projects with reliable and efficient data
My Planet Maps offers fast and easy streaming access to high-quality global map content, updated regularly. The maps offered include a global mosaic of 10-meter resolution satellite imagery, 50 cm and 20 cm resolution orthophotos of France, and OpenStreetMap maps available in different styles.
The global imagery mosaic, produced by PlanetObserver, is at the heart of the My Planet Maps experience. Thanks to advanced colorimetric processing processes, this layer offers a unique and homogeneous visual experience up to a resolution of 10 meters. It provides a rich and reliable geographic context updated annually. In addition, a layer of high-resolution orthophotographs of the whole of France completes it, recently released by the IGN (National Geographic Institute) which provides extremely detailed geographic information.
In addition, a set of global vector maps of different styles completes the platform to offer a complete user experience. In addition, a hybrid layer combining imagery and vector data provides a detailed reference map covering the entire world. All layers are perfect for tracking and communicating on various activities anywhere on the globe.
Efficient online mapping service that is easy to integrate into GIS workflows
My Planet Maps users can easily connect their GIS applications (ArcGIS, QGIS, etc.) and business applications to the platform. Imagery and vector data are accessible via OGC-standard web services (WMS, WMTS, TMS). This greatly simplifies the access and integration of high-quality data. In addition, Airbus and IRSN (French Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety) are already using the platform, developed by Kalisio. Users are fully satisfied with their daily access to the service and appreciate its reliability.
With the My Planet Maps online mapping service, users can easily combine global imagery and vector maps available on the platform with their own content and work environments.
My Planet Maps provides solutions to many projects based on geospatial data. Mapping projects, mission and operations planning, territory management, resource tracking and more, are fully adapted to this service. It supports users in their missions, whether in defense and intelligence, territory management and mapping, energy or civil engineering.

Kalisio signs an agreement with SMMAR
Posted on July 13, 2023Aug 30, 2021
As part of its Innovation Contract with the Occitanie region's economic development agency (AD'OCC), Kalisio has signed an agreement with SMMAR. One of the objectives of this ambitious R&D program is to evaluate the possibility of creating predictive water level models based on artificial intelligence, in order to better prevent the risk of flooding. … Kalisio signe une convention avec le SMMAR
Kalisio signs an agreement with SMMAR
As part of its Innovation Contract with the Occitanie regional economic development agency (AD’OCC), Kalisio signe une convention avec le SMMAR. Indeed, one of the objectives of this ambitious R&D program is to evaluate the possibility of creating predictive water level models based on artificial intelligence, in order to better prevent the risk of flooding. Thanks to this agreement, Kalisio will be able to exploit the hydrometric measurements of SMMAR, which owns a number of measuring stations within its perimeter, in addition to the stations already accessible via the portal Hub’Eau.
By synchronizing forecasts with real-time visualization of the extent of a zone below a certain level (look video) we could know precisely, and several hours in advance, the potentially flooded areas of a region.
Cartographic backgrounds based on OpenStreetMap data
Posted on July 13, 2023Jul 28, 2021
As an Open Source and Open Data player in the field of geographic data, Kalisio offers cartographic backgrounds based on OpenStreetMap data. Nevertheless, the OpenStreetMap Foundation remains a non-profit organization with limited resources. It is therefore not possible to use the openstreetmap.org tile servers at will. … Des fonds cartographiques basés sur les données OpenStreetMap
Cartographic backgrounds based on OpenStreetMap data
As anOpen Source andOpen Data player in the field of geographic data, Kalisio offers cartographic backgrounds based on OpenStreetMap data.Nevertheless, OpenStreetMap remains a non-profit organization with limited resources. It is therefore not possible to use the openstreetmap.org tile servers : at will policy on the use of tiles):
OpenStreetMap data is free for everyone to use. Our tile servers are not.
Until now, we used a third-party supplier to provide us with optimized data (i.e. tiles). They were ready to use and hosted on our servers, or those of our customers. Today, we're delighted to be able to generate your own tiles from the OpenStreetMap database in full autonomy. And it's all thanks to the fabulous ecosystem help to contribute to:
kaabah for automated deployment of computing infrastructures,
krawler for the orchestration of computational tasks,
openmaptiles for importing the OpenStreetMap database and generating tiles,
kargo for making tiles available via various standard OGC protocols.
A project that might seem trivial in 2021, but it's not. No less than 256 processors and several days of calculations required to produce this 90-gigabyte data set ! This represents :
508 million buildings
602 million transport-related entities (roads, railroads, etc.),
80 million points of interest (public facilities, tourism, stores, etc.),
113 million administrative entities (countries, states, regions, cities).
Nothing revolutionary or that doesn't already exist (e.g. Google Maps), but this is also what digitalsovereigntyis all about: know-how that enables independence and resilience.
