Oskari (www.oskari.org) is used around the world to provide map applications with integrations to spatial and statistical data and service APIs. Oskari can be utilized as a Web GIS with a regular browser or via embedded maps controllable with a simple API. The embedded maps are created in a easy-to-use WYSIWYG-tool enabling users to add a map component to their websites/services without any programming skills. The additional API can be used to integrate to existing APIs and services for richer functionality.

This presentation will cover the basics of Oskari and new features introduced during 2021-2022. The focus will be on functionalities for end-users and administrators, such as: new styling tools, map layer analytics and diagnostics tool, metadata supported automation to statistical data visualisation, enhanced support for theming and mobile use. There will be a separate presentation about technical developments in Oskari focusing on developer experience.
