Geographical data is defined as the data which is relative to a certain location. As it is a location on earth we can represent it on a map. Representing geographical data on a map is easy using python libraries.

Python provides different open-source libraries for geographical data visualization. These libraries are easy to use and create highly interactive and visually appealing maps.

In this article, we will explore Folium, a python library which is used to create different types of geographical data visualizations. We will try and create different types of maps and markers on maps.

Implementation:

We will start by installing Folium using pip install folium.

  1. Importing required libraries

We will import folium which contains all the functions that are required for geographical data visualization.

import folium

  1. Exploring Folium

We will start exploring folium by creating a world map in just one line of code.

world_map = folium.Map()
