Plotting Data on Google Map using Python’s pygmaps package

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:


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')
