Oh no, remote #GeoParquet is much less fun in #QGIS than I thought. These few polygons took ~50 Megabytes to fetch. I guess it is not enough to just use #GDAL defaults.

OMF STAC inluding pmtiles – Spatialists – geospatial news

The #Overture Maps Foundation (#OMF) has released a #STAC for its data themes – including addresses, buildings, places, and transportation – available as #cloudnative #GeoParquet and #PMTile files via AWS and Azure. The #PMTiles are ready-to-use, e.g. to easily preview in Protomaps for quick exploration.

OSM data in GeoParquet format

There has been some discussion about OSM data in GeoParquet format, most recently in The last hurrah for OSM - #44 by SimonPoole. Apparently there many different ways to stuff OSM data into some form of Parquet; osm-parquetizer does it with raw data, ohsome-planet builds geometries even for historical data, and cadencemaps tries to emulate Overture’s POI schema. As the person running the Geofabrik download server I have been wondering if I could add some simple form of GeoParquet files to the d...

Map-first STAC search and visualization: @developmentseed has released #stacmap, an #opensource, map-first visualizer for exploring and searching #STAC collections through a simple, browser-based interface. It already supports natural-language queries (albeit experimentally) and also stac-#geoparquet.

Deep dive on pruning – Spatialists – geospatial news

Dewey Dunnington’s latest blog post dives deep into how pruning, the selective reading of relevant data, makes #GeoParquet blazing fast in both local and #cloudnative contexts. Featuring hands-on comparisons across #SedonaDB, #DuckDB, #GeoPandas, #GDAL, and #Sedona #Spark, it’s a must-read for anyone exploring efficient cloud-native geospatial workflows.
