Choropleth maps in Python, the easy way

Join a spreadsheet to administrative boundaries by name and shade regions by value — without the usual name-matching headaches.

The real problem: names

Most choropleth tutorials skip the hard part — your data says Comilla but the boundaries say Cumilla. AcadGIS fuzzy-matches names and tells you what didn't match.

From table to map

Load boundaries for your level, pass your DataFrame, name the value column, pick a colourblind-safe palette and a classification scheme. That's the whole recipe.

Make it publication-ready

Add a title, legend label and a north arrow, then export at 300 DPI. The defaults are already tuned for journals.


Make this map in minutes. AcadGIS does it from code today, and from your browser soon.
