WHO IS ALREADY USING CARTOSET™?

  • UNESCO Places

    Our proposal for celebrating the beauty of the World Heritage Sites of the world. This website mashes up information from different sources (Wikipedia, Panoramio, the official UNESCO site) to provide a full exploration experience to the user: history, images, geospatial context, etc.

    Using CartoSet allowed us to develop it without writing a single line of back-end code.

  • Methane Gas Hydrates

    UNEP / GRID Arendal approached us with a project that fits perfectly to CartoSet features. They needed to build a site to communicate the importance of researching and monitoring methane gas hydrates, showing the current sites around the world.

    The easy-to-use CartoSet backoffice allows UNEP / GRID Arendal to completely manage the text & media content as well as the geospatial properties of the sites.
