Question 1

How do I get started with Geobble?

Accepted Answer

Create an account and choose the work you want to start: upload a GIS file, find a public source, extract features from evidence, enrich an existing source, or create a Project. You can then analyze the data, refine the result in Studio, and publish or share it when it is ready.

Question 2

What is the difference between Projects and Studio?

Accepted Answer

Projects are conversational workspaces for exploring questions, combining context, running spatial analysis, and producing a first map result. Studio is the direct production environment for data work, precise map editing, collaboration, and publication preparation.

Question 3

What data can I bring into Geobble?

Accepted Answer

Geobble supports common geospatial formats such as GeoJSON, Shapefile, KML or KMZ, GeoPackage, File Geodatabase, and CSV data with geographic information. You can also import external PostGIS tables. Support can vary by workflow, so check the upload interface for the current accepted formats.

Question 4

What does Extract Features do?

Accepted Answer

Extract Features helps turn supported documents, URLs, text, and other evidence into proposed geographic features and attributes. You review the evidence and proposed output before saving the result as a reusable Source.

Question 5

What does Enrich Source do?

Accepted Answer

Enrich Source proposes additional attributes for features in an existing Source using supplied evidence. The workflow keeps provenance and review in view so you can inspect changes before accepting them.

Question 6

Can Geobble work with PostGIS data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can import external PostGIS tables into managed Geobble Sources, then use those sources in Projects, Studio workspaces, analysis, and published maps.

Question 7

How does AI help with GIS work?

Accepted Answer

You can describe spatial questions and map changes in plain language. Geobble helps prepare operations such as filters, buffers, joins, classifications, labels, and map edits while keeping the resulting work reviewable and editable.

Question 8

Can Geobble help with cartography?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Geobble can produce a first draft of classifications, palettes, labels, legends, and scale-aware styling. You can then refine the cartography directly in Projects or Studio instead of accepting an opaque generated result.

Question 9

Can I review AI-assisted changes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Geobble is designed around reviewable work. Data-work proposals, analysis results, layers, styles, and map changes can be inspected and refined before you apply or publish them. Paid operations are not silently started from a public call to action.

Question 10

How can I share maps and resources?

Accepted Answer

Resources can be public or private. You can also share supported resources with selected users and assign an appropriate permission level. Publish a map publicly only when it is ready for a wider audience.

Question 11

Are there upload and processing limits?

Accepted Answer

Limits depend on the plan, file type, and operation. The current upload interface shows the applicable constraints before processing. Larger or more complex inputs can require more storage, compute time, and credits.

Question 12

How is access to my data controlled?

Accepted Answer

Geobble uses authenticated, account-scoped access controls, explicit resource permissions, and role-based organization membership. Keep sensitive resources private and grant access only to the collaborators who need it.

Question 13

What is my Geobble handle?

Accepted Answer

Your handle is the stable public identifier used in your account and resource URLs. An automatically generated handle can be changed once from settings; choose the replacement carefully because later changes are restricted.

Question 14

Can a team work together in Geobble?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Organization accounts support members with role-based permissions, shared resources, Studio collaboration, and controlled access to maps, sources, collections, and other reusable assets.

Question 15

What are themes and symbol sets?

Accepted Answer

Themes preserve reusable map styling choices. Symbol sets organize reusable icons and markers. Together they help teams apply a more consistent visual language across maps.

Question 16

What should I do when source processing fails?

Accepted Answer

Check the source status and error message, confirm that the input matches a supported format, and verify that the geometry and required files are valid. Retry only after correcting the input; contact support when the error remains unclear.
