Importing data into Geobase
Bring geospatial data into your Geobase project (PostGIS), then explore it in Table Editor and the Tile Server.
Prefer Studio when you can
In Studio, open Data Importer for your project:
| Path | What it does |
|---|---|
| Map imports → OSM Import Map | Draw an AOI, pick OSM topics, run worker job osmImportArea |
| Map imports → Overture Import Map | Draw an AOI, pick Overture types, run worker job overtureImportArea |
You can cancel a pending/running map-import job from the sidebar. Stopping child processes (e.g. osm2pgsql) may still be best-effort depending on worker version.
Browse / URL / Upload / Live Sources are evolving; for file-based GIS formats, use QGIS or ogr2ogr below.
Choose a path
| Source / format | Recommended | Also | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| OpenStreetMap (AOI) | Studio OSM Import Map | Worker API osmImportArea | OpenStreetMap |
| Overture Maps (AOI) | Studio Overture Import Map | Worker API overtureImportArea | Overture Maps |
Large local .osm.pbf / custom Lua | osm2pgsql on your machine | — | osm2pgsql (advanced) |
| Shapefile, GeoJSON, GeoPackage, … | QGIS | ogr2ogr | QGIS, formats |
After import
- Confirm tables in Table Editor (and
source/ provenance columns where applicable). - Expose layers in the Tile Server if you need MapLibre tiles.
- For agent / CI automation, use the worker jobs endpoints with a service role key (never from the browser).
