Map editing for every field that draws boundaries

Parcels, zones, stands, lease areas, delivery areas and search sectors have one thing in common: neighbours share a border. vectorstream stores that border once, so an edit on one side is an edit on both. Pick your field to see the tasks, the workflow and the questions teams ask.

Cadastre & Land Registry

Edit parcel boundaries where neighbouring parcels share one line, so a corrected border updates both sides and never opens a gap.

Urban & Regional Planning

Sketch zoning districts, land-use areas and development blocks that tile without gaps, and keep plan variants as separate documents in the browser.

Utilities & Network Operations

Maintain service areas, pressure zones and supply districts with shared borders, and sketch pipe or cable routes that snap to existing corners.

Infrastructure & Field Ops

Plan work zones, closures and inspection sections on a web map, with tools that snap to existing edges and an undo that restores every step.

Agriculture & Parcel Management

Map fields, management zones and margin strips that share their borders, and split or merge fields as the crop plan changes from season to season.

Forestry & Land Management

Keep forest compartments, stands and harvest blocks in one connected map, where redrawing a stand boundary also updates the stand next to it.

Real Estate & PropTech

Let users outline plots, assemble sites from neighbouring lots and sketch building footprints inside your property app, then save the result as GeoJSON.

GIS & Location Intelligence

Bring topology-aware polygon editing to a web GIS: shared edges, exact undo, tracing, snapping and checked GeoJSON on Leaflet, OpenLayers or MapLibre GL.

Mapping Product Builders

Embed point, line and polygon editing in your SaaS product, with shared borders, exact undo and GeoJSON output that your users never have to think about.

Government & Public Administration

Maintain districts, catchments and permit areas whose borders are shared, with exact undo and GeoJSON exchange for the systems you already run.

Emergency & Public Safety

Draw evacuation zones, cordons and search sectors that share their borders, and adjust them quickly with an undo that restores the exact previous layout.

Energy & Renewables

Plan solar and wind sites across landowner parcels: lease areas that share borders, exclusions cut off at the site edge, and array blocks copied into place.

Environmental & Conservation

Map habitats, protected-area zones and restoration sites as connected polygons, and draw survey plots and transects on the same map.

Drones & Airspace Zones

Draw no-fly zones, geofences and flight-restriction areas for drone operations, keep adjoining zones flush and export the polygons as GeoJSON.

Micromobility & Shared Mobility Zones

Draw parking spots, no-parking, no-ride and slow zones for e-scooters and shared bikes, per city and per operator, with borders that stay flush.

Delivery Zones & Logistics

Divide a region into delivery areas, courier zones and depot catchments that tile without gaps or overlaps, and move one shared line to rebalance them.

Parking & Traffic Management

Maintain parking zones, permit areas, loading bays and low-emission or access zones at city level, with shared borders and GeoJSON exchange.

Why topology matters in every field

Four properties of the editor come up on every page of this section.

Shared borders

Where two areas meet, vectorstream keeps a single edge. Moving it moves both areas, so no gap or overlap can open along that line.

Exact undo

Undo restores the previous state exactly, including every neighbouring shape that an edit touched.

One core, three map libraries

Adapters for Leaflet, OpenLayers and MapLibre GL drive the same editing core, so the tools behave alike on each library.

GeoJSON in and out

Imports pass a geometry check before anyone edits them, and results leave the editor as GeoJSON for the system that keeps the record.

FAQ

Questions about the solutions

What is a solutions page?
Each vectorstream solutions page describes how one field uses the editor: typical tasks, why shared borders matter there, the workflow from import to export and the questions that come up in that field.
Which fields is vectorstream meant for?
vectorstream suits any field where areas border each other and have to stay flush, such as cadastre, urban planning, utilities, forestry, agriculture, public safety, energy, delivery zones and parking. The solutions pages describe the tasks and the workflow for each field.
Is vectorstream only for GIS experts?
No. Drawing in vectorstream works like a drawing program: click to place corners and drag to change them. Snapping keeps neighbours flush and an exact undo takes back any wrong step, so the tools do not assume GIS training.
What if my field is not listed?
The tools of vectorstream are the same in every field, so a field without its own page works the same way. In the playground you can draw your own shapes in the real editor.
