Check out https://kepler.gl by Uber. Allows you to some basic GIS map based data exploration. Their deck.gl library is pretty nice if you need to add GIS data to your web app.

The lead of kepler.gl and several contributors to deck.gl left Uber last year to start Unfolded [0], a web-based geospatial platform.

However - it would be a lot better when you add another layer, that for, say an ARC layer, you should be able to click on the Source HEX, and then the Dest HEX - or Paste the HEX ID into the field, currently it demands LAT-LON for source and destination.... IT looks like it tries - But I cant seem to correctly apply it?

Thanks for the feedback! I'll look into this.

This is brilliant.

I build Web GIS software for managing worldwide fleets of thousands of robots in real time. I'm super into this stuff. Can't wait to see more from Unfolded.
