The Globe

Map-native interface

The Globe

The Globe is Nexma’s map-native canvas. It is the primary view for designing, inspecting, and operating spatial systems — built on Mapbox GL with a 3D-capable basemap and live project layers.

Map-native, not dashboard-on-top-of-GIS

Most enterprise spatial tools layer dashboards over a GIS engine. The map is a panel among many. The Globe is the inverse: the map is the primary surface. Dashboards, inspectors, and chats slide in around it.

Concretely:

  • Layers come from your project. Anything in your project that has geometry renders

as a Globe layer automatically. Adding new spatial content = adding it to your project.

  • Click is read. Click any feature, see its full record. Right-click to pin it as

Jax context.

  • Edit is write. Drag a vertex, the record updates. Drop a polygon, a new selection

is saved.

  • 3D where it matters. Indoor models, building extrusions, and point clouds render

inline. The basemap toggles between dark, light, and satellite.

What you’ll see by default

A fresh project shows a globe centered on your area, with these layer groups:

  • Active design layers — entities defined by your agent skill (cabinets, pipes,

feeders, etc.).

  • Selections — polygons or buffers you’ve drawn for scoping.
  • Live data — real-world feeds (traffic, weather, vessel positions, satellite

imagery) you’ve opted in to.

  • Recent results — anything Jax has produced lately.

Performance

The Globe is tile-based for large projects. Large datasets are chunked and streamed. We’ve tested with continental-scale plans (millions of features) on commodity hardware.

Beyond the Globe

Most workflows happen on the Globe, but the Globe is one renderer of a larger truth. That means:

  • Mobile field apps see the same data with no extra sync.
  • Automations (scheduled jobs, triggers) read and write the same project.
  • API and CLI tools (when available) operate on the same content.

The Globe is one way to see your project. The project itself is what persists, and what your team, the mobile app, and Jax all share.
