Data Mapping using Python: A Beginner’s Course

Maps are an excellent visual aid. We all gather geographic information, including vacation spots, favorite locations, and interesting regions. But paper maps have their limits, and draw digital maps on a computer might seem like a lot of work.

Do you have information that you’d want to display on a map but are unsure how to do it? Or maybe you’d want to try your hand at your first project in programming and would like something simple and very visual.

Working with data or coding is a terrific starting project. With only 7 lines of code, you can begin creating maps. This introductory course walks you through the necessary code line by line without requiring any prior knowledge. Python, which is a well-known programming language, is the language that is used the most in data science.

You will learn how to do this through the course lessons.

1. Use free mapping software to create stunning maps with little coding.
2. Data may be loaded into a map from a spreadsheet.
3. To resize the map on a screen, use map projections.
4. Add a roadway or natural backdrop to the area.
5. Make the map your own by altering its look, tone, and design.
6. Depending on what you need, you may create a complete street map or an outline drawing.
