In this short text, I would like to share my approach regarding the simple Python geocoding tool. This tool is completely free and I’ve implemented some elements for its usability, which should make it effective. The most important feature of this small tool is no API requirement at all.

The Draw is a very nice plugin dedicated to anyone who wishes to draw editable vectors on the Folium map. It’s a comprehensive plugin, that can add lines, polylines, polygons, rectangles, circles, circlemarkers, and markers and then edit or delete them.

Recently I’ve explained to you how to launch Google Street View from any place on the Folium map. Today it’s the time for continuation – styling the on-click marker, which can be applied to any other on-click marker provided to the Folium map.

In this short post, I would like to demonstrate to you the programmatic method of saving the custom shapes in OpenLayers as the .geoJSON file. Drawing your own features on the OpenLayers map canvas equipped with some existing layers, like it takes place in the case of the map rendered by the QGIS2Web plugin can … Read more
In the last article about the OpenLayers output from the QGIS2Web plugin, I would like to give up the time for labelling issues, which I believe is another important element of our map, without which it can’t be displayed properly. Sometimes labelling is of the same importance as key, when we want to see where … Read more
