Open Source Python Mapping Software

GeographicLib is a small C++ library for: geodesic and rhumb line calculations; conversions between geographic, UTM, UPS, MGRS, geocentric, and local cartesian coordinates; gravity (e.g., EGM2008) and geomagnetic field (e.g., WMM2020) calculations.

Import in Blender most commons GIS data format, Shapefile vector, raster image, geotiff DEM, OpenStreetMap XML. There are a lot of possibilities to create a 3D terrain from geographic data with BlenderGIS, check the Flowchart to have an overview. Display dynamics web maps inside Blender 3d view, requests for OpenStreetMap data (buildings, roads, etc.), get true elevation data from the NASA SRTM mission. Manage georeferencing information of a scene, compute a terrain mesh by Delaunay triangulation, drop objects on a terrain mesh, make terrain analysis using shader nodes, set up new cameras from geotagged photos, set up a camera to render with Blender a new georeferenced raster.

folium builds on the data wrangling strengths of the Python ecosystem and the mapping strengths of the leaflet.js library. Manipulate your data in Python, then visualize it in on a Leaflet map via folium. folium makes it easy to visualize data that’s been manipulated in Python on an interactive leaflet map. It enables both the binding of data to a map for choropleth visualizations as well as passing rich vector/raster/HTML visualizations as markers on the map. The library has a number of built-in tilesets from OpenStreetMap, Mapbox, and Stamen, and supports custom tilesets with Mapbox or Cloudmade API keys. folium supports both Image, Video, GeoJSON and TopoJSON overlays. To create a base map, simply pass your starting coordinates to Folium. To display it in a Jupyter notebook, simply ask for the object representation. The default tiles are set to OpenStreetMap, but Stamen Terrain, Stamen Toner, Mapbox Bright, and Mapbox Control Room, and many others tiles are built in.

GPlates is a plate-tectonics program. Manipulate reconstructions of geological and paleo-geographic features through geological time. Interactively visualize vector, raster and volume data. PyGPlates is the GPlates Python library. Get fine-grained access to GPlates functionality in your Python scripts.

To use precompiled wheels: 1) go to releases (Files) and download tarball needed; 2) install it with command: python3 -m pip install /path/to/wheel.whl Or simply use URL in pip: python3 -m pip install https://sourceforge.net/projects/gdal-wheels-for-linux/files/GDAL-3.1.4-cp37-cp37m-manylinux_2_5_x86_64.manylinux1_x86_64.whl/download URL may be found under "View details" button (i) To use GDAL in C/C++ project you need to link gdal lib AND all libs located at dir GDAL.libs (usually this folder resides inside python site-packages) To compile your own wheels see information given at forefather project: https://github.com/youngpm/gdalmanylinux Usually this is done via command `make wheels` GDAL wheels for Windows are provided by Christoph Gohlke at https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#gdal Built with PROJ (proj.db is included), GEOS, EXPAT. See Dockerfile.wheels for additional components.

openBmap collects data and provides open maps and statistics of all communicating objects: cellular antennas, wifi hotspots. All softwares from back-end to client are open-source under AGPL v3 license.

openModeller is a complete C++ framework for species potential distribution modelling. The project also includes a graphical user interface, a web service interface and an API for Python.

GEOMS2 is a geostatistics and geosciences modeling software. Provides interface for grid (mesh), point, surface and data (non-spatial) objects. It has a 3D viewer and 2D plots using the well known Python engines Mayavi and Matplotlib. It has several functions to manipulate your data as well as provide univariate and multivariate analysis. NOTE: The software is still an early beta. Please tell us if you found a bug.

This project provides a library written in Python for reading and eventually writing ISO8211 files. ISO8211 is a format used for various GIS systems (geographic data), including SDTS, the format used by the US Geological Survey.

TopoGen is a small PyGTK application which will make a topographic image overlay for Google Earth using the given coordinate boundaries.

AVPython embeds the Python programming language within ArcView GIS 3.x. This project will also encompass efforts to build a similar bridge between Python and ArcObjects. An integrated, redistributable Python / PyWin32 setup wizard is also published here.

The Geocanvas project aims to provide a very small and simple set of APIs to assist the developer in creating geographically referenced canvas applications within the GTK/Gnome environment.

LAnd Survey Tools "LAST" was created to preserve and expand on the work invested in an old, privately used, DOS based land survey construction and data collection application by porting much of the C++ coded logic and design concept over to Python.

Why use it? You can create your own Python script using model builder, but you have to modify the script everytime you want to dump different tables. Using this script you only need to have a CSV with all the table names, that’s it. Purpose: It can be used as an archival and historical database It will make you ArcSDE database portable and shareable

AICtools is a GIS workflow and set of tools to facilitate Automated Imagery Classification (AIC) and analysis of surface features over time. Allows bulk processing of large data sets, including automated metadata processing/filtering, compressed archive extraction and file manipulation, raster band compositing, pre-processing, mosaicking, clipping. Automates a subset of operations involved in classification of satellite imagery and the associated raster calculations used for time trend analysis.

AIS Logger is a simple viewer and logger for data received by AIS-transponders or -receivers.

Starting from various input files, we parse to find a list of addresses, then display them on a map.

Discover who lives close to each meeting, from your list of meeting locations and potential invitees.

The aim of this project is to translate the geostatistical BMELib Matlab Toolbox (http://www.unc.edu/depts/case/BMELIB/) into Python.

Breadcrumb is GPS tracking and analysis software written in Python.

Python script for Geocachers. Takes GPX file (eg from Geotoad), downloads waypoints to Garmin Etrex, and produces OpenOffice quick-reference document with the descriptions and hints.

Warning: I found an error if the DR position is on the southern hemisphere. The PUB249 pdf files did not show this error and are correct (as far as I checked). All Revisions 8+ and the Windows release have been fixed. This Python TK application calculates a good set of stars for a 3 star fix, makes all calculations similar to the FAAs Celestial Computation Sheet (see FAA doc FAA-H-8083-18). Also, you can create a PDF file that generates Pub 249 Vol 1 for any epoch you specify. The PUB249 as PDF is found under "Files". I wrote this for my aircraft bubble octant :-) It is mainly useful for air navigation as it assumes a bubble sextant but may be used for normal sextants as well. Requires Ephem and ReportLab (optional for PDF output) Not to be used for real-world navigation!

CitySpeed is a Python package that uses online mapping services to gather statistics on the efficiency and complexity of road networks. This can be used to create maps showing how fast you can drive around a particular city.
