The workflow for plotting GPS data over a map background with a given projection is pretty common. However, I did not find any tutorial or documentation about it. [https://juliageo.org/](https://juliageo.org/) mentions many packages to deal with this kind of data but all deal with specific part of the job.  
These examples ([1](https://gist.github.com/jpwspicer/bd738886467c56c5d029), [2](https://gist.github.com/jpwspicer/91c75f5cf7a2354fbb2d)) look like what I’m looking for but deal with python bindings. Any pointer?

If you can share an example data set we can try to help you. If you are after a pure Julia experience, check the GeoStats.jl stack. It contains all sorts of visualizations of geospatial data with a consistent interface: [[ANN] Announcing Meshes.jl - #33 by juliohm](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-announcing-meshes-jl/53973/33)

I’m planning to plot this open data: [https://g1-stats.axiom-team.fr/data/geoloc-members.json](https://g1-stats.axiom-team.fr/data/geoloc-members.json). Here is a detailed example workflow that could be automatized:

- download geo data
- download vector objects like country boundaries, main cities boundaries
- plot one on top of the other with custom colors
- repeat plot for many frames to produce an animation

I’ll explore GeoStats.

PS:  
these data can already be visualized in browser at this link: [WorldWotMap Ğ1](https://txmn.tk/g1/worldwotmap/)  
but I wish to fit it in my Julia workflow.

First try to load the data with GeoJSON.jl or alternative package. At the end you should have a table with a `geometry` column. This table could then be plotted directly.

For the country boundaries, etc. You can use GeoTables.jl directly to download any region in the world. The link I shared above has examples.

Thanks for GeoTables utility which helps automating the download of shapefile!

In the example, you’re plotting the geo data using MeshViz. I don’t feel it’s the good way to go to display vectorial data (why would you like tho turn them to a mesh?). Plus I get a crash with this stacktrace:

```julia

Vectorial data is geometric data, and in order to fill it colors you will need to create a mesh. This is what plotting libraries do behind the scenes and is exactly what is done in MeshViz.jl

This issue is unrelated to our stack. Make sure you have a working Makie.jl installation in your system. The latest version is assumed, which I think is Makie.jl 0.13 or something.

I thought that plotting libraries did some kind of polygon filling algorithm (counting crosses) when producing a raster image, did not know that they used mesh internally.

Makie seems correctly installed:

```julia
(@v1.6) pkg> status Makie
      Status `~/.julia/environments/v1.6/Project.toml`
  [ee78f7c6] Makie v0.13.12

```

@joa-quim, not plotting vectors on a map background, but interpreting vector data (like roads and buildings) to plot them in a raster way.

It’s strange. I ran Makie tests successfully:

But `viz` stills give me this stacktrace.

I’ll have a look at GMT too 🙂

juliohm : My first install of Makie is as a dependency of MeshViz. I did not change anything. It failed out of the box 🙈

joa-quim : GMT fails at loading maps trough ftp. I’d rather avoid dealing with this mess.

Installing gives me the same stacktrace. Should I activate it somehow? I do not find it on GLMakie readme.

No you should just import it as in the examples. Perhaps you have older versions of other packages installed. Try to install in a fresh environment. ] activate @myenv

Fresh environment and following code still gives me the same stacktrace.

```julia
using GeoTables, MeshViz
import GLMakie
FRA = GeoTables.gadm("FRA", children=true)
viz(FRA.geometry) # crashes julia

```

I’ll look VegaLite and GeoMakie.

Please share your environment `] status -m`. GeoMakie is outdated and VegaLite has a separate pipeline, you won’t be able to plot GeoTables data directly with it. They have a different method for plotting shape files.
