Summary

Felt has introduced ten new curated data layers to streamline mapping workflows and enhance user experience by consolidating information into a single platform. These layers, which were added in June, include diverse topics such as Plant Hardiness Zones, Local Parks Across the Globe, U.S. Forest Service Camping & Hiking Trails, the July 2022 Drought Monitor, Hospitals & Clinics, Basins and Watersheds, Hydrothermal Features, Lakes, and First and Second-order Administrative Divisions. Each layer serves a specific purpose, such as the USDA Plant Hardiness Zones map aiding gardeners, or the inclusion of global lakes offering detailed shoreline information. These additions aim to reduce the time users spend sourcing and styling data from multiple platforms, enabling seamless integration and collaboration within Felt for projects like planning hiking trips or emphasizing green spaces.
