GeoGPT+ improves geospatial analysis by providing real-time data integration and visualization of spatial data.

What kind of mapping can GPTGeo+ (Geo+) create for me?

A month or so ago, I wrote an article on how to leverage GPT-4 to create Python data visualization code to visualize a map of forest fires near my home.

I have a NASA Forest Fires dataset in CSV format (with fire location data and intensity). It is ready for use, and I am curious what functionality is available with the Geo+ tool.

Let’s find out what Geo+ can do with this data.

The forest fire situation in Canada over the past 10 years or so has become very bad. Particularly in British Columbia, where I am from.

Leading to awful pollution days like this:

To show the monthly effects of forest fires, I want to create a data visual that shows forest fires over time (by month) for British Columbia.

And with all of it’s visualization capabilities, I want Geo+ to help me out!

Let’s work together and step through how to get this done.
