Map flight tracking

Visualize flight tracks on a map with Python framework (geo/moving/pandas, contextily...)

Flight data are stored as pandas / GeoPandas dataframes

Trajectory is built with movingpandas and interpolation and projection are realized with movingpandas functions

The map background is built with contextily

The final animated gif is built with PIL and matplotlib

Example: one flight from Marrakesh to Rome

Running the tests

Run the demo-flight-tracking notebook to see how to build the Marrakesh-Rome example
