The open source map server of the Examind suite

Examind Community is a complete, intuitive open source map server with a strong focus on hydrographic, oceanographic and meteorological data. It lets you centralise, manage and publish your geographic data. Build a robust, flexible data infrastructure without the constraints of proprietary software. Download it

Wide-ranging capabilities

Benefit from a broad range of standard OGC services for optimal interoperability (see below).

Handle every common data format with ease (GeoTIFF, Shapefile, NetCDF, GRIB, S-57 and more) and draw on tools and services such as SLD, WMC, SensorThings and GeoPackage to build wide-ranging applications, covering metadata catalogue management as much as in-situ sensor network exploitation.

Publishing electronic navigational charts

High-performance support for the IHO S-57 and S-52 standards. Take advantage of the first open source spatial data infrastructure able to read electronic navigational charts in the S-57 standard. Examind Community can be used to design port management or navigation solutions. Support for the S-52 symbology standard also lets you create your own bespoke styles, and adapt the rendering to every one of your uses.

Examind Community is intended for general-purpose use of hydrographic data. Developing an ECDIS navigation solution requires an Examind Server licence, in order to handle data encrypted under the S-63 standard.
