Standalone projects KangaBlue has shipped. Most of our work goes into Tateru Pro, but some ideas are too big for an app — they get their own deployment.
AUSOVERWATCH
Real-time geospatial intelligence for Australia. AusOverwatch aggregates 15 domestic data feeds onto a single interactive 3D globe, giving you a comprehensive situational picture of what is happening across the country at any moment — plus a World Events intelligence mode for monitoring global hotspots, and a personalised My Neighbourhood dashboard that surfaces everything happening near a saved home address.
15 DOMESTIC DATA LAYERS
Toggleable independently from a left-side Layer Panel. Filters narrow each layer (18 controls in total). Click any entity on the map for a detail panel.

WORLD EVENTS INTELLIGENCE MODE
One toggle transforms AusOverwatch from a domestic monitoring platform into a global intelligence tool. The camera flies to a selected region, domestic-only layers dim, and a set of intelligence overlays activates. Regional flight and vessel tracking adapt to the active region's bounding box; entity counts in the sidebar reflect the region, not global totals.

From raw NSW Valuer General files to 100% coverage
NSW Valuer General Property Sales Information arrives as raw DAT/CSV files. PropViews parses every record, then runs a three-tier address match against G-NAF (exact → no-unit → street-only), hitting 87.8% of the 202 K records. The remaining 12.2% fall through to Google's Geocoding API. Result: 100% coverage with lat/lng on every sale.
