About GeoLabs
GeoLabs is the Spatial team at Nomad Labs. We love all things spatial and particularly like the idea of spatial analysis on the geoweb. We also tend to use a lot of open source GIS in our work. Yey! to the open source. Other than that we love dynamic languages, open RESTful API's and beautiful code and thoughtfully designed software. All things that we try to adhere to in our work.
