Easy Layer Editing

You can edit vector layers from your Web GIS immediately after adding them to QGIS. Changes made in QGIS are instantly reflected on the web.

Editing is possible in offline mode, without an internet connection.

When you start editing a NextGIS Web layer in QGIS, a sync icon will appear next to it. Click on that link to check the update status of the layer.

As a result, now you can perform direct editing of your Web GIS data both through the WFS service (online) and also through the new NextGIS Connect functionality (online and offline).

Web Map → QGIS Project: the reverse process

Do any of your Web GIS maps need an update? Do you need to distribute a Web Map to colleagues for editing or offline browsing in QGIS?

You and your team can add an entire Web Map to QGIS! It will be presented as a project with layers, styles, and basemaps. Your colleagues can then save the map locally and edit it independently offline or edit the Web Map in real-time.

A Web Map in NextGIS Web is the equivalent of a QGIS project. It similarly contains layers, styles, and other settings.

Basemaps, TMS and PostGIS Layers → QGIS

You can add your Web GIS basemaps to your QGIS. The same applies to TMS and PostGIS layers.
