Plotting Data on Google Map using Python's pygmaps package

Last Updated : 04 Jun, 2024

pygmaps

is a matplotlib-like interface to generate the HTML and javascript to render all the data users would like on top of Google Maps. Command to install

pygmaps

pip install pygmaps (on windows)
sudo pip3 install pygmaps (on linix / unix)

Code #1 :

To create a Base Map.

Python

# import required package
import pygmaps

# maps method return map object
# 1st argument is center latitude
# 2nd argument is center longitude
# 3ed argument zoom level
mymap1 = pygmaps.maps(30.3164945, 78.03219179999999, 15)

# create the HTML file which includes
# google map. Pass the absolute path
# as an argument.
mymap1.draw('pygmap1.html')

Output:

Code #2 :

To draw grids on map

Python

# importing pygmaps
import pygmaps

mymap2 = pygmaps.maps(30.3164945, 78.03219179999999, 15)

# draw grids on the map
# 1st argument is the starting point of latitude
# 2nd argument is the ending point of latitude
# 3rd argument is grid size in latitude
# 4th argument is the starting point of longitude
# 5th argument is the ending point of longitude
# 6th argument is grid size in longitude
mymap2.setgrids(30.31, 30.32, 0.001,
                78.04, 78.03, 0.001)
                
mymap2.draw('pygmap2.html')

Output:

Code #3 :

To add a point into a map

Python

# importing pygmaps
import pygmaps

# list of latitudes
latitude_list = [30.3358376, 30.307977, 30.3216419,
                 30.3427904, 30.378598, 30.3548185,

                  78.0747887, 77.9555512, 77.9997158]

mymap3 = pygmaps.maps(30.3164945, 78.03219179999999, 15)


for i in range(len(latitude_list)):

    # add a point into a map
    # 1st argument is latitude
    # 2nd argument is longitude
    # 3rd argument is colour of the point showed in thed map
    # using HTML colour code e.g.
    # red "# FF0000", Blue "# 0000FF", Green "# 00FF00"
    mymap3.addpoint(latitude_list[i], longitude_list[i], "# FF0000")
    
mymap3.draw('pygmap3.html')

Output:

Code #4 :

To Draw a circle of given radius

Python

import pygmaps

mymap4 = pygmaps.maps(30.3164945, 78.03219179999999, 15)

# Draw a circle of given radius
# 1st argument is latitude
# 2nd argument is longitude
# 3rd argument is radius (in meter)
# 4th argument is colour of the circle
mymap4.addradpoint(30.307977, 78.048457, 95, "# FF0000")
mymap4.draw('pygmap4.html')

Output :
