This example retrieves and displays current iOS location data, including coordinates, altitude, speed, and compass direction. It uses the Pythonista `location` API to obtain GPS coordinates and reverse-geocode them into a nearest street address, neighborhood, and region. The code calculates cardinal direction from the course value, prints horizontal and vertical accuracy in meters, and shows altitude with its error range. The program outputs these details as plain text in the console.

This example shows a map-based visualization of user data, rendered by a Python script that generates geographic positions. It displays spatial points derived from a data source, with the rendering process handled through a pipeline that uses the `geopandas` and `matplotlib` libraries for map creation. The code updates team information and positions based on the environment variables for email, password, and user ID, pulling from a remote dataset. The visualization emphasizes the spatial distribution of the user’s data, using a standard geographic projection to plot the points.

This example demonstrates a command-line weather forecast script that outputs tomorrow’s predicted condition, high, and low temperatures for a fixed location. It first retrieves the location name and forecast data from the Yahoo Weather API, then prints the relevant details. The code uses Python’s `json` and `urllib2` modules to fetch and parse the JSON response, with the WOEID hardcoded for Newcastle. No graphical visualization is involved; the script simply prints text results to the console.

HTML5 GPS

This example shows a live GPS track on a Google Map, plotting the user’s current position with a custom marker whose icon updates as location accuracy improves. It uses the Google Maps JavaScript API and the browser’s `navigator.geolocation.watchPosition` method to continuously update the map center and zoom level based on reported precision. The code also accumulates a data log of latitude, longitude, accuracy, and elapsed time, which can be exported by clicking the marker.

This example visualizes a GPS track as a three-dimensional path using a MultiLineString GeoJSON feature. The data, sourced from a gist by FergusDevelopmentLLC, is rendered with altitude encoded as the third coordinate in each vertex. The visualization highlights the elevation changes along the path through a continuous line, with the points tracing a looping route. The use of 3D coordinates allows the viewer to perceive the terrain's vertical profile alongside its horizontal extent, making it useful for analyzing elevation gain, slope, and path shape in a compact, geographic context.

This example shows an interactive command-line tool that asks a user for latitude and longitude coordinates, then displays nearby trails on a map. The visualization first captures raw text input, strips spaces, and splits it into latitude and longitude values, which are then passed to a function that queries trail data. While the code itself does not include rendering libraries, it prepares a URL query string with `lat` and `lon` parameters for a web-based map request. The example highlights a straightforward data-flow pattern: user input is parsed and forwarded to a data-fetching routine, with no explicit charting or mapping library used in the visible snippet.

Quick bit of Python code to calculate a 5km travel buffer given as a talk at PyConlineAU 2020!

This example shows a Jupyter notebook presentation comparing a straight-line 5km radius from a Melbourne home with the actual travel distance along road networks. The code geocodes a location using geopy’s Nominatim API, then builds a drivable network with OSMnx and calculates the reachable area using NetworkX and Shapely. An alpha shape polygon represents the true travel buffer, rendered on folium and matplotlib maps. The notebook highlights the discrepancy between Euclidean distance and road-based travel during COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.

This example demonstrates a geocoding API built with AWS Lambda that converts Irish postal addresses into geographic coordinates. It loads county and townland boundary data from GeoJSON files using GeoPandas, then parses the incoming address string to match the county, townland, and road components. The code uses the Shapely geometry objects within the GeoDataFrames to extract point coordinates, falling back from townland-level to county-level precision when a townland match fails. The implementation handles JSON request bodies, returns appropriate HTTP status codes, and formats coordinate responses as JSON, with boto3 included for potential AWS service integration.

This example shows a geospatial search for golf courses near a specific postcode in New South Wales, Australia. The visualization maps the query’s results by displaying course locations as points, with the postcode’s coordinates as a central reference. It uses the GeoKit Rails plugin, invoked via `Postcode.find_by_postcode` and `Course.find(:all, :origin => [postcode.lat, postcode.lng], :within => 20)`, to filter courses within a 20-mile radius. The data comes from a database of course records, each with latitude, longitude, and review metrics, rendered as a simple point-based map. The code does not use d3 or Three.js; it relies on ActiveRecord and GeoKit for spatial queries.
