Stop building static maps and start telling dynamic stories. Noodles.gl is an open-source, node-based programming language that bridges the gap between high-performance GIS and cinematic animation. By fusing deck.gl, duckdb and maplibre into a reactive "noodles and wires" interface, it allows developers to choreograph complex spatial data flows and GPU-accelerated visuals without getting stuck with AI slop.

This session demonstrates how to transform raw geospatial data into bespoke, interactive narratives using a modular workflow. We will explore how integrating keyframes enables precise, timeline-based control over mapping layers, making it easier than ever to visualize fluid trajectories and evolving urban landscapes. Discover how to reclaim your creative freedom and build the next generation of high-fidelity, web-based cartography.
