Golden map: A story of Python, Folium and streamlit

In this post we will create a map of Golden’s sightings. I’ve always been a fan of Golden Retrievers and every time I encounter one of them, I try to snap a picture. After accumulating a fair share of pics (yes, I know, most of them are not even good), I decided to create this map that shows every Golden Retriever encounter I had during the two months I spent in Barcelona.

tl;dr • Extract geographical info from pictures. • Convert pictures into base64 representation for display. • Create and add elements to a Folium map. • Host the map in Streamlit.

The fully-functional and interactive map can be accessed at: Golden Map – Streamlit.io .
