Public transport still uses the Limit. A reference area can cover at most 200,000 cells for walking, cycling and pedelec, and 40,000 for car.

A new source, Shared with me, lists templates that were shared with you alone. Each template is listed under the space it was shared into. This works in the workflow, layout and Home template pickers.

You can answer, mark a ticket as solved, reopen it, and rate the help you got. Owners and admins of an organization see all of its tickets. The link to the documentation has moved into the same menu.

Now the workflow editor marks the affected nodes as failed, names them, and suggests what to do: ask the owner to share the datasets, or use Replace datasets… to choose your own.

Project templates already worked this way. An export that never ran before you saved the template still uses the default style.

Take Fukushima. We do not provide a routing network there, so the accessibility indicators had nothing to run on. Upload the street network and a Catchment Area works the way it does in Munich. The same holds for public transport: bring the GTFS data for the region and the transit indicators run on it.

That covers two different situations. One is geographic, everywhere we do not already cover, which is most of the world. The other is local: a planned cycle network that does not exist yet, a campus network that is not in OpenStreetMap, or a national dataset a planning office trusts more than the open one. The network arrives in the Overture format, a .zip containing segments.geoparquet and connectors.geoparquet.

It searches the whole workspace from one box, and puts the three things you are most likely to want next in reach: a new project, a dataset, or the Catalog. Underneath, Jump back in lists the projects you had open most recently, and Start from a template offers the workflow, dashboard and layout templates.

Links to the getting-started guide, the documentation and a short isochrones video sit on the same screen, so the first hour with GOAT does not depend on knowing where to look.

A project template opens a prepared project: the layers are styled, the analyses have been run and the Dashboard is built, so you can see how results are meant to be read as well as how they were produced. A workflow template is a prepared analysis where the only thing missing is your data, so ÖV-Güteklassen for your region does not mean building the chain of steps yourself. A layout template is a print-ready map you do not have to design from scratch.

Workflows and Layouts can now be added from inside a project, rather than being separate places you go to.

They are no longer added one at a time. GOAT collects from public geodata catalogs instead: national open data portals across Europe, regional and municipal portals, Overture Maps and OpenStreetMap. Everything lands in one index, so a dataset from a German state portal and a layer from Overture are described the same way and can be found the same way.

What changes is the first step of a project. Search the Catalog, filter by area, by topic and by data type, and add the dataset to your project. No download, no reprojection, no cleaning.

More importantly, everything is in one view. Projects, Templates, Datasets, Bundles and Folders sit together and you filter by type to see only what you want. That makes one question much easier to answer than it used to be: which data is connected to which project.

Sharing works across all of it now, not only on projects, and ownership of an item can be transferred to someone else. Useful when a colleague leaves, or when a project moves from the person who built it to the team that runs it.
