Geo Hound

Automatically detect and save GIS services (WMS, WMTS, ESRI) as you browse, eliminating manual copying and network request searches.

Geo Hound automatically detects and saves GIS services as you browse — WMS, WMTS, WFS, ESRI FeatureServer/MapServer, OGC API Features, tile services, and downloadable geospatial files. Found a useful service? It's already in your dashboard. Built for GIS analysts, researchers, and developers who waste hours hunting through network panels and copying URLs by hand. 🔥 New in v1.7 Download the data, not just the URL - Grab features from WFS, OGC API Features, and ESRI FeatureServer/MapServer as GeoJSON - Visual query builder with field autocomplete and coded-value domains - Draw a bounding box on an interactive map to limit downloads to your area of interest - Reproject on the fly to any supported CRS - Export WMS imagery as PNG, JPEG, or GeoTIFF at any size Community service directory - See which services other Geo Hound users have discovered on the same site - Ranked by reliability and discovery count - Your tile services and credential-bearing URLs stay private — they're never shared Smarter detection - Auto-discovers sibling layers when you land on a single ESRI layer - Reads live Leaflet and MapLibre maps directly from the page - Consolidates sharded tile CDNs into a single {s} template - In-memory deduplication prevents tile floods from overwhelming the list Rich service metadata - Renders full HTML descriptions, keywords, layer lists, supported formats, and CRS - Bounding box and geographic coverage extracted automatically - Provider, title, and abstract pulled from GetCapabilities Smart CORS testing - Identifies which services actually work in web mapping applications (Leaflet, OpenLayers) - Distinguishes image-compatible tiles from fully CORS-enabled services - Status badges: "Fully Compatible," "Web Map Compatible," or "Disabled" With Geo Hound, you can: ✅ Detect services automatically as you browse ✅ Download features and imagery to GeoJSON, PNG, JPEG, or GeoTIFF ✅ Test web compatibility with one-click CORS validation ✅ Normalize URLs for ArcGIS, QGIS, and other GIS apps ✅ Organize services with custom folders and notes ✅ Search across name, URL, type, and notes ✅ Disable detection on selected URLs or domains ✅ Export saved services as JSON for team sharing Perfect for: - GIS analysts building web mapping applications - Researchers gathering geospatial data sources - Developers integrating mapping services - Data scientists working with spatial APIs Stop manually copying GIS service URLs, testing CORS compatibility, or digging through network requests. Let Geo Hound hunt down, validate, and download geospatial data for you — saving hours of tedious work on every project.
