Geospatial Dataset Catalog
Kontur has a variety of geospatial datasets that cover both natural and human landscape.
Our Geocint data pipeline converts any type of data into hexagonal datasets — for you, this means we can quickly integrate the specific data you need for analysis or solutions, without delays.
Kontur datasets are represented by H3 hexagons with 400m resolution. The reason why we use H3 grid instead of the common square grid is that unlike squares, hexagons have equal distances between a hexagon centerpoint and the centers of neighboring cells. This property greatly simplifies performing analysis and smoothing over gradients.
You can leverage our datasets in the following ways
Geoplatform
For users who prefer a visual interface and interactive work with data, try Atlas.
$100..1000/month
API
For developers and companies integrating geodata into their systems.
$100/month
Embedded Map
For companies that need to quickly embed geodata into webpages or internal systems.
$100/month
File dump
For those who prefer to receive ready-to-use files (.gpkg, .shp, .geojson, .csv, and others).

Internationally recognized and reliable sources
We have collected datasets from leading vendors, unified, hexagonalized and standardized them to offer you the most accurate, up-to-date and reliable solutions based on this data.
