Plotting Data on Google Map using Python’s pygmaps package

Last Updated : 15 Oct, 2020

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.

# 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:
pygmap1

Code #2 : To draw grids on map

# 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:
pygmap2

Code #3 : To add a point into a map

# importing pygmaps 
import pygmaps 
  
# list of latitudes 
latitude_list = [30.3358376, 30.307977, 30.3216419, 
                 30.3427904, 30.378598, 30.3548185, 
                 30.3345816, 30.387299, 30.3272198, 
                 30.3840597, 30.4158, 30.340426, 
                 30.3984348, 30.3431313, 30.273471] 
  
# list of longitudes 
longitude_list = [77.8701919, 78.048457, 78.0413095, 
                  77.886958, 77.825396, 77.8460573, 
                  78.0537813, 78.090614, 78.0355272, 
                  77.9311923, 77.9663, 77.952092, 
                  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:
pygmap3

Code #4 : To Draw a circle of given radius

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 :
pygmap4

Code #5 : To draw a line in b/w the given coordinates

# Importing pygmaps 
import pygmaps 
  
mymap5 = pygmaps.maps(30.3164945, 78.03219179999999, 15) 
  
latitude_list =[30.343769, 30.307977] 
longitude_list =[77.999559, 78.048457] 
  
for i in range(len(latitude_list)) : 
    mymap5.addpoint(latitude_list[i], longitude_list[i], "# FF0000") 
  
# list of coordinates          
path = [(30.343769, 77.999559), 
        (30.307977, 78.048457)] 
  
# draw a line in b / w the given coordinates 
# 1st argument is list of coordinates 
# 2nd argument is colour of the line 
mymap5.addpath(path, "# 00FF00") 
  
mymap5.draw('pygmap5.html') 

Output:
pygmap5
