I put together a few drilling rig timeline maps testing out some new software.
New to the market, I came across Unfolded Studio. For anyone who needs a lightweight geospatial data mapping platform, you should check it out.
It is very intuitive to use if you have any experience using geospatial datasets. The first time I used the software was yesterday afternoon, and with only a few hours of using the UI, I completed several maps. One downside, large files like the rig data are slow, and I had to create some workflows to make it work for the analysis.
The improvements in the GIS/Geospatial products offered to the public over the last few years has been impressive.
ESRI's ArcGIS Pro and Online Applications/Widgets have made publishing content seamless. And new products like Unfolded have a big future. These are all dramatically increasing efficiency in the field.
