## What is GeoVya Reader?

GeoVya Reader opens the GIS files you receive and shows them on a map — on your phone, with no account, no upload and no sign-in.

Open a file from Files, from a message or from any app that shares it, and see it on the map right away. Tap a feature to read its fields. Browse the features list, search the features' data, show or hide layers, reorder them and pick their colours. Choose a neutral canvas or a street basemap.

Supported formats
GeoJSON · KML and KMZ · GPX · FlatGeobuf · GeoPackage · Shapefile · File Geodatabase · Personal Geodatabase (.mdb)
Every format opens directly or from inside a ZIP, with two exceptions: a KMZ opens directly only, not when it is inside a ZIP; Shapefile and File Geodatabase open only from inside a ZIP (a File Geodatabase as .gdb.zip).

Any declared coordinate system: the file is placed where it belongs. A ZIP containing several datasets opens as one map.

Your files stay on your device
GeoVya Reader reads your files in place. It has no account, no server and no analytics, and it sends nothing about you or your files anywhere. Its only network use is fetching street basemap tiles from OpenFreeMap when you choose a street basemap; the neutral canvas works fully offline.

Large text and screen readers (VoiceOver and TalkBack) supported.

Read-only: GeoVya Reader displays files and does not edit them.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-11-02

• KML/KMZ data written in HTML now reads as text.
• KML MultiGeometries of one shape type now draw as that shape and appear in Features and search.
• Drag a sheet's header down to close it.
• In portrait, feature details stop at half the screen so the map can show your feature.
• A small feature chosen from the list is now ringed, so it stands out on the map.
• Search treats Arabic-Indic (١٢) and Latin (12) digits alike.
• Licences keeps your place when you return to it.
• The Basemap sheet and licence texts now slide in and out like the Layers and Features sheets.
• Fixed: in a few GeoJSON files, a feature's fields could be listed out of the file's order.
