Heatmaps — GeoTIFF and XYZ Tiles

Precomputed location ratings as map layers. 100x100m grid, ready for map UI integration.

  • GeoTIFF & XYZ Tiles
  • 100m Grid
  • Europe-wide

Formats

  • GeoTIFF: Raster format for analysis workflows (QGIS, Python/rasterio)
  • XYZ Tiles: Standard tile format for web maps (Mapbox, Leaflet, OpenLayers)
  • Resolution: 100x100m grid (approx. 1 city block)
  • Coverage: Europe-wide with consistent methodology

Custom Color Scales

Tiles can be rendered with different color scales. Use predefined scales (e.g. jet, rdpu) or create custom color maps via API.

Quickstart

// XYZ tile layer
L.tileLayer(
  "https://tiles.geosci.de/CUSTOMER_ID" +
    "/ratings/shopping/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"
).addTo(map);

The tile URL follows the standard XYZ scheme and works directly with Leaflet, MapLibre, Mapbox GL, or OpenLayers. Get your CUSTOMER_ID via GET /customers/me.

URL Schema

https://tiles.geosci.de/{customer_id}/ratings/{rating_name}/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

# With color scale
https://tiles.geosci.de/{customer_id}/ratings/{rating_name}/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?colormap=rdpu
