G-ordon Planisphère

Q: How can you display thousands of points on a map without slowing it down?

Your jobs and assets are prepared in advance as vector tiles: the browser only loads the part of the map on screen. When zoomed out, nearby points group into numbered clusters, which split apart as you zoom in.

Q: Do G-ordon's maps use Google Maps?

No. The display relies on OpenStreetMap, served from Agiléo’s servers, and on the open-source MapLibre library. No account with a map provider, no pay-per-view billing.

Q: Which base maps are available?

The OpenStreetMap street map, IGN aerial imagery, the IGN land registry (French cadastre) and Géorisques risk information, displayed as needed. Licence attributions (© OpenStreetMap contributors, IGN) remain visible beneath every map.

Your jobs and assets on a smooth, responsive map

Built into G-ordon

Your whole field operation on a single map: the OpenStreetMap base map served from Agiléo’s servers, with your jobs and assets as vector tiles, sharp and smooth at every zoom level.

Our own base map

OpenStreetMap maps served from Agiléo’s servers, with no reliance on Google Maps or Mapbox.

Everything is shown

On the office’s overview map, jobs and assets appear in full, not just the first few results.

Clusters that count

When zoomed out, nearby points group into clusters showing the exact number of items.

Always up to date

After a change or an import, the map updates itself: nobody has to restart anything.

Your whole field operation at a glance

Where are the overdue jobs? Which area concentrates this week’s activity? Where is the equipment due for inspection? These questions have a geographical answer. In G-ordon, the map is not a gimmick alongside the schedule: it is the dashboard of your field operation, in the office as well as in the technician’s pocket.

A map that stays smooth

Showing a few points on a map is easy. Showing an entire asset base and every job across a territory, without slowing down or leaving anything out, is another matter. For the office’s overview map, G-ordon Planisphère prepares your data in advance as vector tiles: compact data that the browser draws itself, sharp at every zoom level.

Nothing is cut off: the map shows all jobs and all equipment.
Numbered clusters when zoomed out, giving the exact number of grouped items: a busy area no longer looks like an empty one.
Colours that speak for themselves: jobs by status, assets by equipment type.

Several maps in one

The OpenStreetMap street map to find your way, IGN aerial imagery to see the ground as it really is, the land registry for plots, Géorisques to know the risks of a site: each can be displayed as needed, on the same map. Technicians see their own position and start turn-by-turn navigation to the next job with a single tap.

Under the bonnet

In-house mapping, built on open standards:

OpenStreetMap and OpenMapTiles: the collaborative map of the world, turned into vector tiles and served from Agiléo’s servers.
A tile generator designed by Agiléo, built on tippecanoe and the open PMTiles format: it turns your jobs and assets into a lightweight map layer, regenerated after each change.
MapLibre, the open-source map display library, in the browser.

On the security side, the generator has no access to any database: it only receives the extract it needs, through a short-lived link, and wipes its workspace after each run. On the sustainability side, tiles are only produced when someone views the map, then expire on their own: nothing is computed or stored for nothing.

The people who serve your maps are the people who build G-ordon.

What it changes

Role	What Planisphère brings them
Planners	The whole workload on the map, to group visits by area.
Operations managers	Overdue areas and activity hotspots, at a glance.
Asset managers	Every piece of equipment in its place, with its type.
IT departments	No dependence on a map provider, and tiles that contain only what is needed to draw them.

Demo

Try it: zoom in and the clusters open up

This map uses the same base map as G-ordon, styled in the colours of this site. The points are fictitious, placed around Toulouse, where G-ordon is designed.

Frequently asked questions

Is there field service software with a built-in map?

Yes: in G-ordon, the map is part of the software. The office sees its jobs, coloured by status, and its assets, coloured by equipment type, on an OpenStreetMap base map served from Agiléo’s servers. Nothing extra to buy or plug in.

How can you display thousands of points on a map without slowing it down?

Your jobs and assets are prepared in advance as vector tiles: the browser only loads the part of the map on screen. When zoomed out, nearby points group into numbered clusters, which split apart as you zoom in.

Do G-ordon's maps use Google Maps?

No. The display relies on OpenStreetMap, served from Agiléo’s servers, and on the open-source MapLibre library. No account with a map provider, no pay-per-view billing.

What information do our tiles contain?

Only what is needed to draw them: the position, status or type of each point. The details of a job (address, contact…) are only requested from G-ordon when you click, with the usual access-rights checks. And each customer only sees their own tiles.

Which base maps are available?

The OpenStreetMap street map, IGN aerial imagery, the IGN land registry (French cadastre) and Géorisques risk information, displayed as needed. Licence attributions (© OpenStreetMap contributors, IGN) remain visible beneath every map.
