Working with geographical data

Many applications involve working with geographical data. For example, when tracking global weather, we might want to plot the temperature as measured by various sensors around the world at their position on a map. For this, we can use the GeoPandas package and the Geoplot package, both of which allow us to manipulate, analyze, and visualize geographical data.

In this recipe, we will use the GeoPandas and Geoplot packages to load and visualize some sample geographical data.
