About FindGeoDataFor GIS professionals, developers, designers, and anyone tired of wading through cryptic metadata to find the data they actually need.

The Story

You've been there. Thirty browser tabs. Three data portals. One dataset that might work—if you can figure out what "NAD83 StatePlane Zone 5" actually means for your project.FindGeoData was built because we lived that frustration. The existing tools—while powerful—assume deep domain knowledge and endless patience for irrelevant results.We built something different: a curated gateway that translates technical metadata into plain language, surfaces what matters, and gets you to the data faster. Your time is too valuable for portal-hopping.
