to_geo(data_frame, lat_col='latitude', lon_col='longitude', crs='epsg:4326')[source]

Convert a Pandas DataFrame to a GeoPandas GeoDataFrame.

The input DataFrame must have latitude and longitude columns, which get converted to a point geometry in the outputs GeoDataFrame.

Parameters:

  • data_frame (pandas.DataFrame) – A pandas data frame with latitude and longitude coordinates.

  • lat_col (str, optional) – The name of the latitude column. By default, "latitude".

  • lon_col (str, optional) – The name of the longitude column. By default, "longitude".

  • crs (str, optional) – The Coordinate Reference System of the output DataFrame represented as a string. By default, "epsg:4326".

Returns:

geopandas.GeoDataFrame – A GeoPandas GeoDataFrame object with points representing the lat/lon positions as the geometry.
