In this 9-minute GeoPandas tutorial, you’ll learn how to import Shapefiles, GeoJSON, and GeoPackage files in Python using GeoPandas.

What you’ll learn:
• How to read Shapefiles with gpd.read_file
• How to load GeoJSON
• How to work with GeoPackage (GPKG) and select layers
• How to check CRS
• How to preview your data

This video is perfect for GIS beginners, remote sensing learners, and anyone switching from QGIS/ArcGIS to Python.

Code used in the video:
import geopandas as gpd
shp = gpd.read_file('roads.shp')
gjson = gpd.read_file('boundary.geojson')
gpk = gpd.read_file('data.gpkg', layer='districts')
print(shp.head())
print(shp.crs)
shp.plot()
