Plotting Google Map using gmplot package in Python

The plot Google Maps using the gmplot package in Python, you’ll need to follow these steps:

1. Install the gmplot package: You can install gmplot using pip:

   pip install gmplot

2. Import the necessary modules and set up your Google Maps API key: You’ll need a Google Maps API key to use the gmplot library. You can obtain an API key from the Google Cloud Console (https://console.cloud.google.com/). Make sure to enable the “Maps JavaScript API” for your project. Once you have your API key, you can use it in your Python script:

   import gmplot

   # Replace 'YOUR_API_KEY' with your actual API key
   gmap = gmplot.GoogleMapPlotter.from_geocode("YOUR_API_KEY")

3. Add markers, shapes, or paths to your map: You can add various elements to your Google Map using gmplot. Here are a few examples:

• Adding a marker: gmap.marker(37.7749, -122.4194, title="San Francisco")
• Adding a shape (polygon): lats = [37.773972, 37.774546, 37.773972] lngs = [-122.419806, -122.419006, -122.418206] gmap.polygon(lats, lngs, color="cornflowerblue")
• Adding a path (line): path_lats = [37.7749, 37.773972, 37.774546] path_lngs = [-122.4194, -122.419806, -122.419006] gmap.plot(path_lats, path_lngs, "red", edge_width=3)

3. Save the map to an HTML file: After adding the desired elements to your map, you can save it to an HTML file for viewing in a web browser:

   gmap.draw("mymap.html")

Here’s a complete example that creates a simple Google Map with a marker, a shape, and a path:

import gmplot

# Replace 'YOUR_API_KEY' with your actual API key
gmap = gmplot.GoogleMapPlotter.from_geocode("YOUR_API_KEY")

# Add a marker for San Francisco
gmap.marker(37.7749, -122.4194, title="San Francisco")

# Add a polygon (shape)
lats = [37.773972, 37.774546, 37.773972]
lngs = [-122.419806, -122.419006, -122.418206]
gmap.polygon(lats, lngs, color="cornflowerblue")

# Add a path (line)
path_lats = [37.7749, 37.773972, 37.774546]
path_lngs = [-122.4194, -122.419806, -122.419006]
gmap.plot(path_lats, path_lngs, "red", edge_width=3)

# Save the map to an HTML file
gmap.draw("mymap.html")

Running this script will generate an HTML file (“mymap.html”) that you can open in a web browser to view your Google Map with markers, shapes, and paths.
