ALIGN Docs
Everything you need to build web maps and GIS applications with ALIGN, by hand or with AI.
Welcome to the ALIGN docs
Section titled “Welcome to the ALIGN docs”ALIGN is a cloud GIS platform to build web maps and GIS applications, built for GIS-savvy people who are not developers. No code required, no lock-in.
