FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Everything teams ask before moving their geospatial work to ALIGN. Still unsure?hello@geonova.be

What is ALIGN?
ALIGN is an AI-native Cloud GIS platform that lets you manage geospatial data, build maps, develop GIS applications and deploy them from one unified environment.
Who is ALIGN for?
From a single GIS analyst to a whole organization: anyone who works with geospatial data and wants to manage it, map it, turn it into applications and share it, without switching tools.
What data can I use with ALIGN?
40+ formats and services are supported, from vector and raster files to point clouds, 3D Tiles and cloud native formats like GeoParquet, PMTiles and Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF, and you can read virtually any GIS dataset through GDAL/OGR.
Who owns the data I work with?
You do. ALIGN never copies your spatial data: queries run against your own Postgres, PostGIS, Supabase, Snowflake or S3, and you decide which fields the AI agent can see.
Can I publish the maps I build?
Yes. Build your GIS app in the studio and deploy it to your own domain. During the beta, ALIGN hosts the build and runtime environment, reach out if you need a dedicated or on-premise setup.
What happens if I run out of AI budget?
Nothing breaks. Your maps keep running and previously generated previews stay live. The AI agent simply pauses until you top up your budget from the dashboard.
Is it secure enough for sensitive data?
ALIGN is EU-hosted and GDPR-aligned, with TLS in transit and encryption at rest. Only schema and aggregated samples are shared with the agent, and you control field visibility. SSO and audit logs are on the roadmap for Team and Enterprise.
