Nairobi Maps

An interactive map of Nairobi for exploring parcels, infrastructure and planning data.

Pan: click and drag the map.
Zoom: scroll wheel, pinch, or use the +/− buttons.
Reset view: click the Home button on the top bar.
Identify: click any feature to see its attributes.
Full details: in any popup, click View all details to open the side drawer — it lists every attribute, with a filter box plus Copy attributes and Share feature link actions.
My location: click the locate button (target icon, top-left) to find and centre on your position with an accuracy ring.
Right-click the map for coordinates and quick actions (copy, open in Google Maps).
Your cursor coordinates appear next to the pointer as you move.

Open the left sidebar to browse layers grouped by category.
Toggle a layer on/off with its checkbox.
Use the opacity slider next to a layer to fade it.
Click Switch basemap at the top-right to swap between OSM, dark and satellite.
Upload your own layer: Gold and Platinum members (and admins) can add a GeoJSON (EPSG:4326 / WGS 84) or CSV (with lat/lng columns) layer via the Upload button at the top of the left sidebar.
Versioning: re-uploading a custom layer keeps the previous file as a version.
Share a layer: admins can mint a read-only link that expires after N days.

Type a parcel/LR number, place name, or any feature attribute in the top search box.
Enter coordinates as lat, lng (e.g. -1.286, 36.817) to fly to a point.
Pick a result to highlight the feature, fly to it and open its attribute card.
Find parcel at point: right-click the map and choose the option to identify the parcel under the cursor.

Measure: distances and areas with a live readout. Pick Distance or Area, click to add points, then double-click (or Finish) to complete.
Legend & symbology: an auto-generated legend for every active layer. Re-style any polygon/line layer by an attribute — categorized (distinct values) or graduated / choropleth (numeric class breaks with colour ramps).
Draw & buffer: sketch points/lines/polygons and buffer them by N metres (uses Turf.js).
Spatial query: find features of one layer that fall inside the polygons of another (or inside your drawn shapes).
Export data: download filtered results as GeoJSON or CSV, a tabular PDF, or a one-page parcel report PDF. Filter by an attribute or the current view (Platinum/Admin).
Print / PDF: exports the visible map with a title, north arrow, scale bar and legend.
Bookmarks, time slider, heatmap/cluster & swipe compare: save views, filter by date, and compare basemaps.
Plot density calculator (Platinum): estimate GFA, units, population and floors for a plot.
