Using GeoPandas for Geospatial Analysis in Python

Examples: Creating Geometries

Explore how to create geometries using GeoPandas by converting GPS coordinates into point and linestring objects. Understand the process of loading, grouping, and visualizing geospatial data to enhance your spatial analysis skills.

We'll cover the following...

Spatializing trajectories data set

In the first example, we’ll spatialize the coordinates obtained from the GPS Trajectories data set available at the UCI (University of California, Irvine) Machine Learning Repository. The sample file is available in the code playground with the name go_track_trackspoints.csv.
