PROJECT


Visualize Geospatial Data Using Folium

In this project, we'll learn to visualize location data on interactive maps using Folium. We'll customize maps with markers, polygons, heat maps, colors, icons, and layers.

Visualize Geospatial Data Using Folium

You will learn to:

Create basic maps in Folium with customization.

Add a variety of markers along with pop-ups and tooltips on maps.

Organize location markers as clusters.

Use layers and feature groups to organize and visualize maps.

Project Description

Folium is a Python library used to create interactive leaflet maps. In this project, we’ll create maps and customize them with different colors, icons, and pop-ups to display data in a clear and concise manner. We’ll also learn how to add markers to a map. We’ll also explore heat maps, which can be used to visualize data such as population densities.

In addition to markers and heat maps, the project also employs feature groups and layers. Feature groups allow to manipulate one or more separate items, e.g., icons, markers, or pop-ups as a single unit that is later displayed as a layer on the map. The project also uses marker clusters to group closely located markers. This is particularly useful when dealing with large datasets, becuase it allows us to avoid cluttering the map with too many markers.
