About Geoplot
GeoPLOT is a high-level Python library designed for geospatial data visualization. It is built on top of Matplotlib and Cartopy, and is especially popular among data scientists who want to create maps without writing complex low-level plotting code.
Pros
✔ Very easy to use compared to raw Cartopy or Matplotlib
✔ Clean and readable syntax
✔ Fast map creation for data analysis
✔ Works naturally with GeoPandas
✔ Good for academic, research, and data science use cases
✔ Supports multiple map projections
Cons
❌ Not ideal for interactive web maps (static focus)
❌ Smaller community compared to Plotly or Folium
❌ Limited advanced GIS features compared to full GIS software
❌ Setup can be tricky due to dependencies (GEOS, Cartopy stack)
❌ Not actively evolving as fast as newer geospatial tools
