Map Overlay with Tiles#

A map overlay showing earthquake locations on top of a tile map. This example uses tiles=True to render geographic context underneath the data.

import hvplot.pandas  # noqa

df = hvplot.sampledata.earthquakes("pandas")

df.hvplot.points(
    x='lon',
    y='lat',
    tiles=True,
    tiles_opts={'alpha': 0.3},
    alpha=0.6,
    color='mag',
    cmap='viridis_r',
    title='Earthquake Map Overlay (Bokeh)',
    xlabel='Longitude',
    ylabel='Latitude',
)

Note

Map overlays using tiles=True are only supported in the Bokeh backend. The Matplotlib backend does not support rendering web map tiles.
