GeoD (formerly displayed as GeoDownloader) is a free and open-source desktop GIS data tool for Windows, macOS and Linux. It provides an interactive map-based workflow for selecting an area, browsing map layers, downloading OpenStreetMap vector features through the Overpass API, and exporting data from tile services that the user is authorised to access.
The application is built with Rust and Tauri. Its source code is available under the MIT License. Licences and usage terms for map imagery, tiles and other third-party data remain independent of the application licence.

- Export to GeoTIFF, PNG and JPEG
- Region import from GeoJSON, Shapefile, KML and KMZ
- Drawing rectangles, polygons and other download boundaries

OpenStreetMap usage
GeoD can display OpenStreetMap layers and work with OSM vector data. OpenStreetMap data is licensed under the Open Database License and requires appropriate attribution.
The standard raster tile service at tile.openstreetmap.org does not permit bulk downloading, prefetching or offline tile archives. It should only be used for normal interactive map viewing. For offline or bulk workflows, users should choose a provider that explicitly permits the intended use, or operate a self-hosted tile service. See the OSMF Tile Usage Policy.
GeoD does not grant rights to third-party services. Users are responsible for checking source licences, API terms, attribution requirements and local laws before downloading or redistributing data.
