Features
Below is a partial list of features available for the geemap package. Please check the examples page for notebook examples, GIF animations, and video tutorials.
Automated conversion from Earth Engine JavaScripts to Python scripts and Jupyter notebooks.
Displaying Earth Engine data layers for interactive mapping.
Supporting Earth Engine JavaScript API-styled functions in Python, such as Map.addLayer(), Map.setCenter(), Map.centerObject(), Map.setOptions().
Creating split-panel maps with Earth Engine data.
Retrieving Earth Engine data interactively using the Inspector Tool.
Interactive plotting of Earth Engine data by simply clicking on the map.
Converting data format between GeoJSON and Earth Engine.
Using drawing tools to interact with Earth Engine data.
Using shapefiles with Earth Engine without having to upload data to one’s GEE account.
Exporting Earth Engine FeatureCollection to other formats (i.e., shp, csv, json, kml, kmz) using only one line of code.
Exporting Earth Engine Image and ImageCollection as GeoTIFF.
Extracting pixels from an Earth Engine Image into a 3D numpy array.
Calculating zonal statistics by group (e.g., calculating land over composition of each state/country).
Adding a customized legend for Earth Engine data.
Converting Earth Engine JavaScripts to Python code directly within Jupyter notebook.
Adding animated text to GIF images generated from Earth Engine data.
Adding colorbar and images to GIF animations generated from Earth Engine data.
Creating Landsat timelapse animations with animated text using Earth Engine.
Searching places and datasets from Earth Engine Data Catalog.
Installation
The geemap Python package is built upon the ipyleaflet and folium packages and implements several methods for interacting with Earth Engine data layers, such as Map.addLayer(), Map.setCenter(), and Map.centerObject().
To install geemap, run this command in your terminal:
pip install geemapgeemap is also available on conda-forge. If you have Anaconda or Miniconda installed on your computer, you can create a conda Python environment to install geemap:
conda create -n gee python
conda activate gee
conda install -c conda-forge geemapIf you have installed geemap before and want to upgrade to the latest version, you can run the following command in your terminal:
pip install -U geemapIf you use conda, you can update geemap to the latest version by running the following command in your terminal:
conda update -c conda-forge geemapTo install the development version from GitHub, run the following command in your terminal:
pip install git+https://github.com/giswqs/geemapUsage
Important note: A key difference between ipyleaflet and folium is that ipyleaflet is built upon ipywidgets and allows bidirectional communication between the front-end and the backend enabling the use of the map to capture user input, while folium is meant for displaying static data only (source). Note that Google Colab currently does not support ipyleaflet (source). Therefore, if you are using geemap with Google Colab, you should use import geemap.eefolium. If you are using geemap with binder or a local Jupyter notebook server, you can use import geemap, which provides more functionalities for capturing user input (e.g., mouse-clicking and moving).
More GEE Tutorials are available on my YouTube channel.

The following examples require the geemap package, which can be installed using pip install geemap. Check the Installation section for more information. More examples can be found at another repo: A collection of 300+ Jupyter Python notebook examples for using Google Earth Engine with interactive mapping.
Converting GEE JavaScripts to Python scripts and Jupyter notebooks
Launch an interactive notebook with Google Colab. Keep in mind that the conversion might not always work perfectly. Additional manual changes might still be needed. ui and chart are not supported. The source code for this automated conversion module can be found at conversion.py.
import os
from geemap.conversion import *
# Create a temporary working directory
work_dir = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~'), 'geemap')
# Get Earth Engine JavaScript examples. There are five examples in the geemap package folder.
# Change js_dir to your own folder containing your Earth Engine JavaScripts, such as js_dir = '/path/to/your/js/folder'
js_dir = get_js_examples(out_dir=work_dir)
# Convert all Earth Engine JavaScripts in a folder recursively to Python scripts.
js_to_python_dir(in_dir=js_dir, out_dir=js_dir, use_qgis=True)
print("Python scripts saved at: {}".format(js_dir))
# Convert all Earth Engine Python scripts in a folder recursively to Jupyter notebooks.
nb_template = get_nb_template() # Get the notebook template from the package folder.
py_to_ipynb_dir(js_dir, nb_template)
# Execute all Jupyter notebooks in a folder recursively and save the output cells.
execute_notebook_dir(in_dir=js_dir)
Interactive mapping using GEE Python API and geemap
Launch an interactive notebook with Google Colab. Note that Google Colab currently does not support ipyleaflet. Therefore, you should use import geemap.eefolium instead of import geemap.
# Installs geemap package
import subprocess
try:
import geemap
except ImportError:
print('geemap package not installed. Installing ...')
subprocess.check_call(["python", '-m', 'pip', 'install', 'geemap'])
# Checks whether this notebook is running on Google Colab
try:
import google.colab
import geemap.eefolium as emap
except:
import geemap as emap
# Authenticates and initializes Earth Engine
import ee
try:
ee.Initialize()
except Exception as e:
ee.Authenticate()
ee.Initialize()
# Creates an interactive map
Map = emap.Map(center=[40,-100], zoom=4)
# Adds Earth Engine dataset
image = ee.Image('USGS/SRTMGL1_003')
# Sets visualization parameters.
vis_params = {
'min': 0,
'max': 4000,
'palette': ['006633', 'E5FFCC', '662A00', 'D8D8D8', 'F5F5F5']}
# Prints the elevation of Mount Everest.
xy = ee.Geometry.Point([86.9250, 27.9881])
elev = image.sample(xy, 30).first().get('elevation').getInfo()
print('Mount Everest elevation (m):', elev)
# Adds Earth Engine layers to Map
Map.addLayer(image, vis_params, 'SRTM DEM', True, 0.5)
Map.addLayer(xy, {'color': 'red'}, 'Mount Everest')
Map.setCenter(100, 40, 4)
# Map.centerObject(xy, 13)
# Display the Map
Map.addLayerControl()
