Is there a Julia package with resources for plotting map visualizations - something similar to R’s ggmap, perhaps? I’ve scanned through the Gadfly and Plots documentation and pkg.julialang.org and didn’t see anything obvious. I’m interested in making visualizations similar to this: http://i.imgur.c…

[image] mkborregaard: OpenStreetMap.jl for the underlying map. Plots.jl for the dots, lines and transparent heatmap I have tried to experiment with just doing it in Plots (which I often find easier as it acts as a general interface to many plotting packages), but I’m having some trouble, so i…

I have a google maps API wrapper flying around, I’m just not sure if I can publish it. Google doesn’t seem to like people downloading it’s images. If someone wants to take a look at their AGBs and assure me that it’s legal to offer it as a package, please let me know!

This R package CRAN - Package RgoogleMaps is GPL-3, it could be an option to drop him an email and hear if he investigated the licensing issues.

A small status update in case anybody from the future searches for map visualizations and finds this thread looking for advice: sglyon is of course totally correct that the mapbox plots can be done via PlotlyJS.jl. Mapbox does have a free API tier, and with the scattermapbox trace you can make som…

It sounds like you’ve done a lot of looking into this. If this result is anything you can share a notebook or gist of, I think it would be pretty helpful for others who are interested in doing the same in the future!

Comment from a Julia newb: I was previously using Python 3 & Folium on top of OpenStreetMaps to generate valid HTML for web-based mapping. Folium is a Python wrapper for the LeafletJS library, which is an excellent library for all sorts of visualisations: charts, graphs, vectors and maps. Based on…

I had read that thread from your post (9 days ago) and it seems there is traction for change. So whom do we lobby for features? :sunglasses: I’m hands up for Alpha & Beta testing.

The current head of the real time mapping committee for Julia development is a new community member named Justin Ant. I understand you know him… please pass along congratulations on his nomination. In all seriousness… don’t offer testing services. Build.

jna: While the PlotlyJS solution is workable, it produces (AFAIK) static images with overlaid and contextualised data of pre-defined sections of a map. One of the nice things about PlotlyJS is that you can get the JSON source for the plot, which can be used in any web page via normal plotly.…

I believe all of these things are in development - check the JuliaGeo organization and e.g. this thread Overview of Geo tools
