Geospatial Python - Full Course for Beginners with Geopandas

Looking to dive into geospatial data analysis using Python? This comprehensive Geopandas tutorial is perfect for you! Whether you’re just starting out or want to sharpen your skills, this video covers everything you need to know about one of Python’s most powerful geospatial libraries.

Introduction to Geopandas: What it is and why it’s a game-changer for geospatial data.

Core Concepts: Learn the basics of GeoDataFrames, spatial joins, and geometry operations.

Handling Geospatial Data: Work with popular file formats like Shapefiles, GeoJSON, and GeoParquet.

Performing Spatial Analysis: Discover tools for performing spatial queries, intersections, and overlays.

Real-World Project: Apply your knowledge to a hands-on project that you can add to your portfolio.

When trying to import `h3pandas`, I encountered an `ImportError` stating: "cannot import name 'h3' from 'h3'". This happened because I had `h3-py` version 4.1.1 installed, which is incompatible with `h3pandas`.

**Solution:**
To resolve this, I uninstalled `h3-py` and installed a compatible version (3.x). Here are the steps:

1. Uninstall the incompatible version:
```bash
conda remove h3-py
```

2. Install a compatible version:
```bash
conda install -c conda-forge h3-py=3.7.7
```

After that, I was able to import `h3pandas` successfully!

Nice one, Matt. Keep up your good work!

Thank you for this!


Hopefully I finish this and will comment again once I get my certification from your website :)

Thank you

Thats good session for the current era.

I think for future videos it would be best to keep the zoom on the screen consistent. The constant zoom in/out was a little disorienting. But overall a nice video and enjoyed the introduction.

[javiermatos]

incredible video!, thank you so much!!

[BryanSayer]

Loved the presentation and you are good at speaking. But the excessive zooming in and out (maybe that is your recording software) gave me motion sickness! Is there a way to make the window showing the speaker smaller and maybe not zoom in and out?

At 28:33, it is very difficult to write the wiscosin state border data you created one by one, can you share the points there here?

[matteoarellano]

hello Matt! how can you generate those polygons from google earth or similar open source software to create dataframes?

[Birch-rg]

Thank you for an informative session! Just wondering where can I download the five geopandas-1 to geopandas-5 ipynb? Cheers

Does anyone know a good way to read from ESRI File Geodatabase format, or even SDE Geodatabase into a geopandas geodataframe? I would imagine for an Enterprise Geodatabase I would have to invoke arcpy first.

Converting to shapefile is undesirable due to the field length limitations, and null values

[deodarhome]

Any idea how to feed the Geopanda DataFrames to an AI model such as OpenAI or Gemini?

[RadicalMycology]

Thanks for this great tutorial. Your videos and book have really helped me improve my skills. Would you be interested in giving a talk or workshop at the OpenStreetMap State of the Map US conference in Boston this June?

[Sureal]

Maybe someone can help me out with this issue, but for certain datasets, when I run the .explore() function, I receive a TypeError: Object of type Timestamp is not JSON serializable (for example, in lesson 4 -> codeblock 4 -> bike_paths.explore()). Is this an issue with my installation, the dataset, or something with geopandas? Thank you for the help!

[lebo_mee]

Why did I only find your page after my gis coding exam😭😭😭

Please stop zooming in and out every second of your videos.
