RustGIS now maps the Moon, Mars and beyond 🪐 Until now, every RustGIS map was a map of the Earth. Now one click takes it to another world: pick a celestial body from the planet button at the top of the Layers pane, or under Celestial Bodies in the Basemap gallery. What you get - 12 bodies: Earth, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus, the Galilean moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto), Titan, Pluto and Charon. - Measurements on the right body: the Measure tools, the scale bar, the map scale and layout scale bars all use that body's radius, so a kilometer on Mars is a Martian kilometer. - Your own data on top: add vector or raster layers, style, label and run geoprocessing tools as you would on Earth. The body is saved with the project. - Scriptable like everything else: map.body={"name": "mars"} from the command line, Python or the AI Assistant. The basemaps come from OpenPlanetaryMap and USGS Astrogeology, served through the opengeos tile service shared with GeoLibre, so they work in the browser too. Try it out - Launch the web app and switch to Mars: web.rustgis.app - GitHub: github.com/opengeos/RustGIS The desktop apps get it in the next release. #GIS #Rust #OpenSource #PlanetaryScience #Mars #Moon #Geospatial
