vectorfield accepts 2d arrays of magnitude and angle on a grid and produces an array of vectors. x and y can be 2d or 1d coordinates.

Geographic Data#
If a dataset has an attr called crs which is a cartopy object or a proj4 string, then just by setting the option geo=True will use the correct crs.
ds.hvplot.vectorfield(x='x', y='y', angle='angle', mag='mag',
hover=False, geo=True, tiles="CartoLight")
If you set coastline or features it will keep the original crs and transform the features to the data crs.
ds.hvplot.vectorfield(x='x', y='y', angle='angle', mag='mag',
hover=False, geo=True, coastline=True)
