This page shows features that have landed to kepler.gl in major versions. For a complete list of changes to kepler.gl including each minor version, please visit the full change log.
Released January 29th, 2025
The new Vector Tile layer allows the map to dynamically retrieve data based on the user's viewport and zoom level. This initial release supports both Mapbox Vector Tiles and PMTiles.
By leveraging the efficiency of vector tiles, users can visualize complex, large-scale datasets without compromising performance, making it easier to explore and analyze geospatial data.
Leverage DuckDB directly within kepler.gl your geospatial projects with big data. Write and execute SQL queries to perform custom analyses, visualizing the results on your map.
DuckDB enables in-browser data processing, allowing you to work with large datasets without the need for external infrastructure.
Kepler’s AI assistant can edit the map, including filters, base map customization, and a variety of layer configurations. Accessible via text chat, voice chat, and screenshot. The assistant can also produce SQL from natural language, which can be passed to DuckDB.
Mapbox and MapLibre base maps are now simultaneously supported.
Custom color scale is now supported in categorial/ordinal fields, aggregate layers, and other layer components. In addition, custom breaks are now supported within the color scales.
Formatting for numeric values (e.g. 10,000 can be formatted 10k, $10,000.00, etc; .42 can be formatted as 42%).
Includes various updates to the user interface for animation (for both time filters and the trip layer). You may also sync the layers (such as the trip layer) with filters, and conversely sync filters with the layer.
The legend is now both movable and resizable, supports the editing of legend values, and offers a scale for radius scaling.
A number of improvements to layers, including:
Zoom to layer button lets users center their viewport on the layer’s data
Point layer now supports geojson
Arc layer supports creation from h3
A vast number of other layer improvements
This release also includes a wide range of bug fixes and performance improvements, which can be viewed in the full change log.
