A Python package for interactive geospatial analysis and visualization with Google Earth Engine.
Geemap is a Python package that enables interactive geospatial analysis and visualization using Google Earth Engine (GEE). It provides tools to display, analyze, and export Earth Engine datasets within Jupyter notebooks, addressing the limited interactivity and documentation of the GEE Python API. The package simplifies working with satellite imagery and geospatial data by offering an intuitive interface and automation features.
Students, researchers, and existing GEE users who want to utilize Python for geospatial analysis, especially those transitioning from the GEE JavaScript API or working in Jupyter-based environments.
Geemap stands out by offering seamless integration between Google Earth Engine and Python, with features like automated JavaScript-to-Python conversion and interactive mapping tools. It reduces the learning curve for GEE's Python API and enhances productivity with built-in visualization and data export capabilities.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Automatically converts GEE JavaScripts to Python scripts and Jupyter notebooks, greatly reducing conversion time for users transitioning from the GEE JavaScript API.
Provides ipyleaflet-based mapping with GEE-styled functions like Map.addLayer(), enabling intuitive exploration of Earth Engine datasets within Jupyter environments.
Supports exporting Earth Engine data to formats such as GeoTIFF, shapefile, CSV, and JSON, facilitating seamless integration with other geospatial tools.
Allows adding local raster datasets (e.g., GeoTIFF) and using shapefiles without uploading to GEE, enhancing flexibility for mixed data sources.
Requires a GEE account and constant internet access, locking users into a proprietary cloud platform and preventing offline use.
Primarily functions within Jupyter notebooks, making it challenging for script-based automation or production deployments without additional workarounds.
Relies on GEE's servers for data processing, which can introduce significant latency and is subject to GEE's usage quotas and potential downtime.
