What is Mapping Toolbox?

Mapping Toolbox provides algorithms and functions for transforming geographic data and creating maps.

You can visualize data in a geographic context using a wide variety of map projections, and transform it into or out of a consistent geographic coordinate reference system.

The toolbox enables you to access map data from web map servers, or import raster and vector formats such as GeoTIFF, GRIB, DTED, Shapefile, KML, and Esri Geodatabase.

Mapping Toolbox supports a variety of workflows for managing geographic data, including data processing techniques such as clipping, interpolation, and resampling.

You can focus your location-based analysis using Area of Interest (AOI) tools to select and work with specific regions, or use geocoding to convert addresses to coordinates.

The toolbox enables plotting with basemaps in both online AND offline environments. Combine your data with base map layers from multiple sources in a single map display, giving you a comprehensive view of your data in context.

When your analysis is complete, export your results in widely used formats such as Shapefile, GeoTIFF, and KML for use in other applications or sharing with colleagues.

Whether you’re transforming geographic data, creating custom maps, or managing data from multiple sources, Mapping Toolbox provides the tools you need transform, analyze, and visualize geographic data in MATLAB.
