# Getting started with Amazon SageMaker geospatial
<a name="geospatial-getting-started"></a>

 SageMaker geospatial provides a purpose built **Image** and **Instance type** for Amazon SageMaker Studio Classic notebooks. You can use either CPU or GPU enabled notebooks with the SageMaker geospatial **Image**. You can also visualize your geospatial data using a purpose built visualizer. Furthermore, SageMaker geospatial also provides APIs that allow you to query raster data collections.You can also use pre-trained models to analyze geospatial data, reverse geocoding, and map matching.

**Important**  
As of November 30, 2023, the previous Amazon SageMaker Studio experience is now named Amazon SageMaker Studio Classic. If prior to November 30, 2023 you created a Amazon SageMaker AI domain, Studio Classic remains the default experience. domains created after November 30, 2023 default to the new Studio experience.
