For those facing an issue about the geopandas installation with Anaconda, a solution is just to upgrade the conda version by using this syntaxt in the Anaconda Prompt " conda update --prefix C:\Users\HP\anaconda3 anaconda". Don't forget to replace the path by yours where anaconda is installed. After that the installation will work. Thanks dear for this interesting ressource on Geopandas :)

[@tubuobaggio]

Thank you very much i struggled for the whole day to install geopandas, i finally created an env to install the geopandas in instead of installing it in the base, i actually succeeded but on spyder when i import it what i get is just errors, your solution was straight to the point, thank you very much

[@theforester_]

just a quick question, i'm new to python and as you may have noticed most of the tutorials for python use Jupyter notebook as IDE. i've noticed that you have been using Spyder as IDE, do you think it's better when compared to Jupyter, people who use python for Spatial data analysis tend to use more Spyder IDE istead of Jupyter? thanks again!

[@geodeltalabs]

Hi there, I think it's purely based on the personal preference. The only legit reason I have for using Spyder over Jupyter is that personally I was using Spyder way before I discovered Jupyter, and never really wanted to make the move. So far I have never had any issues with Spyder especially when it comes to getting the additional packages to install and run without much of a hassle. I'd recommend you try out both and stick with the one you find more comfortable to work with. 😊

Really amazing, I have one query though in this demonstration you have used shape file .shp. But I have worked with .geojson files so is there any difference between these files performance of memory wise. My use case is deploying as a Realtime dashboard. Thanks

[@themapmaker5374]

Great! Just one question - how do you choose and set an individual color to each district?? I don't want geopandas to set randam colors to the districts. Instead, I want to select colors and hues of the districts myself via code.

[@pankajs271178]

Nice, one shot explaination. Perfect. But How did you get those shape files??

Thank you for your knowledge!. I would like to ask, when I write polygon geodataframe from OSM to shapefile, there is an error : ValueError: Invalid field type . In my case I have make selection if the dataset only contain the polygon. Please help me. Many thanks!

I have some data from a csv, when i loaded 1 file and the shapefile it looked fine. Because i want to add two datas to the map i used the multiple layers method but now i can see only like 9 from one file and 7 from the other, strange. Is there an option for amount of points for the joining of data for the maps?

I kinda had that problem, you can create another environment other than base and try to do installation In anaconda prompt use following Conda create --name myenv Conda activate myenv Then try installing. 'Myenv' can be any name you choose you may have to install every libraries required and spyder itself to the new environment you created
