Geospatial Technology Radar: A Report Against a Turbulent 2025 Backdrop
2025-11-05 , Lake Audubon

As we enter the third year of producing our Geospatial Technology Radar, our 2025 radar demonstrates the proliferation of AI into the geospatial community, and integrates community contributions with our own internal experiences working in the space.


For the past two years, our team has unveiled a Geospatial Tech Radar (2023 version, 2024 version) at FOSS4G-NA with the goal of highlighting industry trends, technologies, and solutions, while functioning as a knowledge sharing platform for the geospatial community.

The latest radar grapples with innovations that have greatly impacted the geospatial industry this year in the face of funding uncertainty for many projects as well as the continued proliferation of AI and Machine Learning. We will discuss new updates to the radar and spotlight blips that have dramatically improved or shifted since they were first introduced in previous editions of the radar.
