Read GIS vector files offline -- ESRI shapefiles, GeoJSON, and GeoPackages -- with no QGIS, GDAL or ArcGIS install. List a layer's fields, feature count, extent and coordinate system, filter features by attribute or bounding box, and ask which polygon (zoning district, flood zone, tax lot) contains a lat/lon point. NAD83 / New York Long Island (EPSG:2263) is reprojected built-in.
