112 cartoee basemap X

Uncomment the following line to install geemap and cartopy if needed. Keep in mind that cartopy can be challenging to install. If you are unable to install cartopy on your computer, you can try Google Colab with this the notebook example.

See below the commands to install cartopy and geemap using conda/mamba:

conda create -n gee python=3.9
conda activate gee
conda install mamba -c conda-forge
mamba install cartopy scipy -c conda-forge
mamba install geemap -c conda-forge

Import libraries¶

In [ ]:

%pylab inline

import ee
import geemap

# import the cartoee functionality from geemap
from geemap import cartoee
import cartopy.io.img_tiles as cimgt

%pylab inline import ee import geemap # import the cartoee functionality from geemap from geemap import cartoee import cartopy.io.img_tiles as cimgt

Initialize Earth Engine¶

In [ ]:

geemap.ee_initialize()

Add Earth Engine dataset¶

In [ ]:

# get a landsat image to visualize
image = ee.Image('LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1_SR/LC08_044034_20140318')

# define the visualization parameters to view
vis = {"bands": ['B5', 'B4', 'B3'], "min": 0, "max": 5000, "gamma": 1.3}

# get a landsat image to visualize image = ee.Image('LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1_SR/LC08_044034_20140318') # define the visualization parameters to view vis = {"bands": ['B5', 'B4', 'B3'], "min": 0, "max": 5000, "gamma": 1.3}

Use Google basemap¶

In [ ]:

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(15, 10))

# use cartoee to get a map
ax = cartoee.get_map(image, vis_params=vis, basemap='ROADMAP', zoom_level=8)

# pad the view for some visual appeal
cartoee.pad_view(ax)

# add the gridlines and specify that the xtick labels be rotated 45 degrees
cartoee.add_gridlines(ax, interval=0.5, xtick_rotation=0, linestyle=":")

# add the coastline
ax.coastlines(color="yellow")

plt.show()

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(15, 10)) # use cartoee to get a map ax = cartoee.get_map(image, vis_params=vis, basemap='ROADMAP', zoom_level=8) # pad the view for some visual appeal cartoee.pad_view(ax) # add the gridlines and specify that the xtick labels be rotated 45 degrees cartoee.add_gridlines(ax, interval=0.5, xtick_rotation=0, linestyle=":") # add the coastline ax.coastlines(color="yellow") plt.show()

Use Stamen Terrain basemap¶

In [ ]:

basemap = cimgt.Stamen('terrain-background')

basemap = cimgt.Stamen('terrain-background')

In [ ]:

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(15, 10))

# use cartoee to get a map
ax = cartoee.get_map(image, vis_params=vis, basemap=basemap, zoom_level=8)

# pad the view for some visual appeal
cartoee.pad_view(ax)

# add the gridlines and specify that the xtick labels be rotated 45 degrees
cartoee.add_gridlines(ax, interval=0.5, xtick_rotation=0, linestyle=":")

# add the coastline
ax.coastlines(color="yellow")

plt.show()

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(15, 10)) # use cartoee to get a map ax = cartoee.get_map(image, vis_params=vis, basemap=basemap, zoom_level=8) # pad the view for some visual appeal cartoee.pad_view(ax) # add the gridlines and specify that the xtick labels be rotated 45 degrees cartoee.add_gridlines(ax, interval=0.5, xtick_rotation=0, linestyle=":") # add the coastline ax.coastlines(color="yellow") plt.show()

Use OpenStreetMap basemap¶

In [ ]:

basemap = cimgt.OSM()

basemap = cimgt.OSM()

In [ ]:

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(15, 10))

# use cartoee to get a map
ax = cartoee.get_map(image, vis_params=vis, basemap=basemap, zoom_level=8)

# pad the view for some visual appeal
cartoee.pad_view(ax)

# add the gridlines and specify that the xtick labels be rotated 45 degrees
cartoee.add_gridlines(ax, interval=0.5, xtick_rotation=0, linestyle=":")

# add the coastline
ax.coastlines(color="yellow")

plt.show()

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(15, 10)) # use cartoee to get a map ax = cartoee.get_map(image, vis_params=vis, basemap=basemap, zoom_level=8) # pad the view for some visual appeal cartoee.pad_view(ax) # add the gridlines and specify that the xtick labels be rotated 45 degrees cartoee.add_gridlines(ax, interval=0.5, xtick_rotation=0, linestyle=":") # add the coastline ax.coastlines(color="yellow") plt.show()

Use other basemaps¶
