py_geo_snippets

Some quick n dirty python snippets useful for geo dev

A python shorthand to fetch and plot geojson on OSM tiles. Includes testing using the free OSRM API. Supports both static PNG rendering (no browser required) and interactive HTML map generation.

• 🔵 Plot static PNG maps with OpenStreetMap tiles using staticmap
• 🌍 Create interactive route maps with folium
• 📡 Fetch routes using live OSRM API
• 🖼️ Automatically open generated images/maps in your system’s default viewer/browser

git clone ...
pip install requests folium staticmap pillow

import geo_plotter
geo_plotter.test() # auto execute a test
# This is how it's actually used:
plot_static_png(geojson, filename="route.png", open_image=True)
plot_interactive_map(center=start, geojson=geojson, filename="route_map.html", open_browser=True)

Static rendering via staticmap (uses tile layers)

Interactive rendering via folium (Leaflet under the hood)

Uses OSRM’s /route API to test routes
