CartograFit
Welcome to the documentation for CartograFit, the geographic parking data platform by FitAI.
Who we are
FIT.ai is a French startup specializing in geographic intelligence, based in Saint-Paul, Réunion Island.
Our mission: make the invisible visible. Public authorities and the State hold no centralized, exhaustive data on their parking. FIT.ai fills this blind spot by building the first parking cadastre in France: precise, actionable, sovereign geographic data.
We are a data aggregator: we bring order to the chaos of countless sources and signals. Our core product, Argos, aggregates, refines, scores, sorts and structures them into versioned datasets — distributed through CartograFit. Discover our approach →
What we map
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Parking | On-street spaces, off-street, accessible, loading, paid/free |
| Road signs | Parking signs, prohibitions, restrictions |
| Road markings | Parking lines, hatched zones, pedestrian crossings |
| Street furniture | Bollards, posts, benches, trees, lampposts |
We are the only provider able to deliver the full spectrum of this data for the French public space, with an unmatched 98% coverage compared to competing solutions.
Sovereignty and open formats
Your territory. Your data. Your decisions. Our data is delivered in industry-standard GIS formats, with no vendor lock-in:
| Type | Formats |
|---|---|
| Files | GeoPackage, GeoJSON |
| Imagery | HD satellite XYZ tiles (0.15-0.30 m/pixel) |
Why does this matter? You can cross-reference our datasets with your own data directly in your everyday tools (QGIS, ArcGIS, MapInfo, etc.) — without changing your workflows. Our data integrates into your existing GIS via files, API or dedicated support.
Need a specific format (Shapefile, CSV, KML, GML, etc.) or another type of service (WMS, Elasticsearch, REST API, etc.)? Contact us to discuss it.
What is CartograFit?
CartograFit is our platform for centralizing access to our geographic datasets. It lets you access our parking data in several ways:
- By files: download GeoPackage (with styles) or GeoJSON exports
- GIS integration: automatic push, API/PostGIS sync, or dedicated support
- Preview: quickly visualize your data on a read-only interactive map
What you'll find here
This documentation describes the structure and usage of our datasets:
| Section | Content |
|---|---|
| Our approach | How we produce our data |
| Plans and subscriptions | Subscription model and available options |
| Practical guides | Downloading, formats and styles |
| Data types | Detailed structure of each data type |
| Fit Audit | Land Cover, indicators & bespoke data pipelines (service engagement) |
Available data
Our datasets cover eight complementary data types, distributed as 14 layers. Four types (parking, street furniture, road markings, road signs) are available in two variants depending on the imagery source: terrain (high precision) and HD satellite (extended coverage). Parking lots are available only via satellite. Roads are common to all sources. Road segments and H3 cells come in terrain (-street) and satellite (-satellite) variants with the same data formats.
As an option, high-definition satellite imagery (0.15 to 0.30 m/pixel) is available as XYZ tiles with token-based authentication. This recent, high-resolution basemap lets you overlay our data and yours in your GIS.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| H3 cells | Statistics aggregated by hexagonal zone (Uber's H3 system) |
| Road network | Roads enriched with parking density |
| Road segments | Road segments with detailed density |
| Parking areas | Parking locations with capacity estimates |
| Street furniture | Urban development elements (benches, lampposts, trees, etc.) |
| Road signs | Parking-related road signs (prohibitions, paid zones, accessible, etc.) |
| Road markings | Road markings (lines, hatched zones, pedestrian crossings, symbols) |
