show path in map in python

To show a path on a map in Python, you can use the geopandas and matplotlib libraries. Geopandas is a library that can read and manipulate geospatial data while matplotlib is a plotting library that can create different types of visualizations.

Here are the steps to show a path in a map:

1. Import the necessary libraries.

main.py
import geopandas as gpd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
56 chars
3 lines

2. Read in the data containing the path coordinates. The data should be in a GeoDataFrame format.

main.py
path = gpd.read_file('path.shp')
33 chars
2 lines

3. Plot the map using matplotlib, and add the path on top of it using the GeoDataFrame.

main.py
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10,10))
map_df.plot(ax=ax, alpha=0.4, color='grey')
path.plot(ax=ax, color='red', linewidth=3)
plt.show()
138 chars
5 lines

This will create a map with the path overlaid on top of it. You can adjust the size and color of the path to suit your needs.
