Python Google Map How To Create GeoJSON Layer

In this Python Google Map article i want to show you How To Create GeoJSON Layer . basically

we are using gmaps library for this article . so gmaps is a Jupyter plugin for embedding Google

maps in Jupyter notebooks. It is designed to help visualize and interact with geographical data.

We can add GeoJSON to a map. this is very useful when we want to draw chloropleth maps.

you can either load data from your own GeoJSON ﬁle, or you can load one of the GeoJSON

geometries bundled with gmaps. We will create a map of the GINI coefﬁcient (a measure of

inequality) for every country in the world.

So now this is the complete source code for this article

import gmaps
import gmaps.geojson_geometries


gmaps.configure(api_key='AIza...')
countries_geojson = gmaps.geojson_geometries.load_geometry('countries')
fig = gmaps.figure()
gini_layer = gmaps.geojson_layer(countries_geojson)
fig.add_layer(gini_layer)
fig

import gmaps

import gmaps.geojson_geometries

gmaps.configure(api_key='AIza...')

countries_geojson = gmaps.geojson_geometries.load_geometry('countries')

fig = gmaps.figure()

gini_layer = gmaps.geojson_layer(countries_geojson)

fig.add_layer(gini_layer)

fig

OK, in the above code you can see that first of all we have imported our gmaps library, also we

have imported the geojson from gmaps. after that you need to configure your api key. for more

information about creating api key you can check my first article on Python Google Map

Introduction With gmaps .
