Overview

Geo Hound automatically detects and saves GIS services while you browse the web. This powerful extension identifies WMS, WMTS, WFS, ESRI services, tile services, and geospatial files from any webpage you visit, organizing them in a convenient dashboard for later use.

Perfect for GIS professionals, researchers, and web developers who need to gather and validate geospatial services efficiently.

🔥 **New Enhanced Features:**

**Smart CORS Testing** - Automatically tests web compatibility for all detected services
- Identifies which services work in web mapping applications (Leaflet, OpenLayers)
- Distinguishes between image-compatible tiles and full CORS-enabled services
- Real-time compatibility status: "Web Map Compatible," "Fully Compatible," or "Disabled"

**Advanced Service Validation** - Ensures detected services actually work
- Validates tile coordinates and zoom levels
- Tests service endpoints with GetCapabilities requests
- Filters out broken or inaccessible services

**Comprehensive File Detection** - Beyond just services
- Detects KML/KMZ, GeoJSON, Shapefiles, GeoTIFF files
- Identifies downloadable geospatial data formats
- Organizes both services and files in one dashboard

With Geo Hound, you can:

✅ **Save detected services** with automatic deduplication
✅ **Test web compatibility** with one-click CORS validation
✅ **Normalize URLs** for use in ArcGIS, QGIS, and other GIS applications
✅ **Organize services** with custom folders and notes
✅ **Search and filter** your collected services and files
✅ **Disable detection** on selected URLs or domains
✅ **Export service information** for team sharing
✅ **Track service analytics** with cloud database integration

**Perfect for:**
- GIS analysts building web mapping applications
- Researchers gathering geospatial data sources
- Developers integrating mapping services
- Data scientists working with spatial APIs

Stop manually copying GIS service URLs, testing CORS compatibility, or digging through network requests. Let Geo Hound automatically hunt down and validate geospatial services for you, saving hours of tedious work while ensuring web compatibility.
