This lab will teach you how to create maps from geospatial data using the GeoJSON extension for JupyterLabs. The first section of the lab walks through building a map of New York City landmarks, building up from a single geospatial point, then creating a feature collection and finally adding points to the existing feature collection. The second section uses Google’s zip code public dataset to convert BigQuery GEOGRAPHY objects to GeoJSON format and map geospatial polygons.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this lab you will be able to:
- Use the GeoJSON extension to JupyterLabs to map geospatial data
- Map GeoJSON objects in Jupyter notebooks
- Interact with BigQuery GIS datasets within Jupyter notebooks
- Map geospatial data from BigQuery GIS's
GEOGRAPHYdata type
