Location intelligence

From scattered data tomaps that answer back

AfCEN Atlas connects your data, builds governed interactive maps and publishes them anywhere. Ask Atlas, the built-in agent, and it flies the map, turns on layers and queries the data, with every step on the record.

Meet the Atlas

One map of Africa. Every layer you need to decide.

The AfCEN Atlas main map brings live hazard feeds, shipping, energy, infrastructure and open Earth-observation data onto a single African canvas. Pan it, switch layers on and off, and ask Atlas a question. Everything you see is clipped to the continent and traceable to its source.

Common questions

All questions

A location-intelligence platform for governed, interactive maps. You connect data, build and style layers, publish versioned maps and embed them anywhere, with Atlas, the AI assistant, working the map alongside you. Every map covers the African continent only.

Yes. The main map is public. You can explore its layers and ask Atlas about it without signing in. Building your own maps needs an account.

It flies the camera to places and features, turns layers on and off, queries datasets, explains fields and coverage, and plans multi-step work with governed tools. Every step is traceable in Activity.

Bring your corridor data to the map

Connect a database, a web service or a file, shape the layers, and publish a map your partners can open, embed and question.
