About Kepler.gl

Kepler.gl is an open-source, web-based application for visual exploration of large-scale geolocation data sets. Built on MapLibre GL and deck.gl, it can render millions of points representing thousands of trips and perform spatial aggregations on the fly.

It is also distributed as a customizable React component that uses Redux for state and data flow and can be embedded in other React-Redux applications. Use requires a Mapbox Access Token, and use as a dependency requires Node 20.19.3 or a supported LTS.
