Pembelajaran Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG) berbasis proyek belum disertai penilaian literasi geospasial pada produk autentik siswa, karena nilai proyek hanya menggambarkan kualitas hasil kerja kelompok. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kemampuan literasi geospasial siswa melalui pemanfaatan Google My Maps pada materi SIG. Metode yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif deskriptif dengan desain analisis dokumen (document analysis). Subjek penelitian adalah 36 siswa kelas X-E.1 yang terbagi dalam enam kelompok, bertempat di SMA Negeri 12 Semarang, pada 27 Oktober–3 November 2025. Alur penelitian meliputi pemberian tugas pemetaan bencana, pengerjaan selama satu minggu, pengumpulan tautan peta dan presentasi, kemudian penelaahan dokumen. Data dikumpulkan melalui dokumentasi nilai proyek, peta digital, RPP, dan dokumentasi presentasi dengan instrumen lembar analisis dokumentasi, lalu dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan rubrik empat indikator. Hasilnya, nilai proyek berkisar 93–100 dengan rata-rata 95,33 dan simpangan baku 3,01, seluruh kelompok berkategori sangat baik, dan keempat indikator teramati pada enam produk (100%). Simpulannya, literasi geospasial siswa tergolong sangat baik, tetapi berupa nilai kelompok sehingga peningkatan kemampuan belum dapat dinyatakan. Guru disarankan menambahkan rubrik bernilai per indikator; peneliti selanjutnya disarankan menggunakan tes individual dan desain kuasi-eksperimen.
