That’s it! You have learned three different ways to convert the address into latitude and longitude using Geopy. This is a starting point for more complex and advanced geospatial data analysis. If you are interested in getting started with geospatial analysis with no code, the best way is by taking a look at DataCamp’s Working with…

ArcGIS is a software that enables to analyze and visualize geospatial data. It also provides location services such as Google Maps and OpenStreetMap. OpenAI This time there is no issue in obtaining the pair of coordinates. We can proceed on extending this operation to all the addresses: OpenAI Taking a look at the first rows…

Since OpenStreetMap is the biggest and editable free geographic database and project, the API is free of charge. To geolocate a single address, you just have to give the email of your OSM account as input to the Nominatim class, instead of the API key: OpenAI Unfortunately, the location returned by OpenStreetMap API is None because it…

The most popular method to convert addresses into coordinates is by using Google Maps API. Although Google Maps provides paid services, it gives you $200 in free credits the first time you create the account. To get access to the service, you need to create a new account on the Google Maps Platform. There is a…

In this article, we will analyze the Canada Museum dataset from Kaggle. It provides information about museums located in Canada. This collection of museums could be useful in predicting the price of Airbnb accommodation in Toronto; for example you may have noticed that the rent of a listing increases the nearer it is to points of interest,…

Geopy is an open-source Python library specialized in adding the location to the data through a huge variety of geocoding services, such as Google Maps, Open StreeMap, and ArcGIS. You may guess why you can’t use the geocode service directly instead of the Python library. The beauty of Geopy is that you can exploit these geocoding…

Geocoding is a process that involves converting addresses (like “1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA”) into geographic coordinates (like latitude 37.423021 and longitude -122.083739), which you can use to place markers on a map, or position the map. In simpler terms, it is the computational process of transforming a physical address description to a location…
