Summary

Raster data, crucial for industries like environmental science and agriculture, encompasses digital aerial photos, satellite imagery, and thematic data, providing insights into elevation, land use, and more. Traditional software struggles with raster data sharing, but Felt offers a collaborative platform that simplifies this process with features such as uploading raster files as map layers, adding XYZ URLs for external imagery, and utilizing purpose-built OSM layers. Felt facilitates the integration of raster data with vector data and annotations, making it easier to create and share narratives through maps. This platform supports large files up to 5GB and offers seamless sharing options for teams and clients, enhancing the review and feedback process. Hydrologist Angie Rodriguez-Arriaga's experience at Luhdorff & Scalmanini highlights Felt's efficiency in sharing and annotating raster data, eliminating the need for cumbersome exports. Felt continues to expand its capabilities and invites feedback from users to further enhance its services.
