Requirements

Through this course, you will learn how to visualize large-scale geospatial data using Kepler GL, and easily share interactive map visualizations using Streamlit.

• Kepler GL is an open-source tool developed by Uber to efficiently analyze and visualize complex geospatial data in real time.
• Streamlit is a Python framework that allows you to easily create interactive web applications, particularly useful when visualizing data or building dashboards.

In this course, you will achieve the following goals:

1. Mastering the Kepler Demo UI: Without writing code, you will directly interact with the Kepler GL interface and experience its various features, gaining a basic understanding of data visualization.
2. Creating Map Visualizations with Kepler GL: Using Google Colab, you will write code to generate map visualizations with Kepler GL. You will learn how to extract visualization settings and use them to customize maps according to your needs.
3. Sharing Map Visualizations with Streamlit: You will learn how to share interactive map visualizations with others using Streamlit, making it easy for users to view the maps and perform spatial analysis without any extra effort.
4. Applying Custom Map Styles with Mapbox: You will overcome the limitations of the default map styles by applying custom map styles with Mapbox to represent geographical details more richly and accurately.
