Changing coordinate reference systems
In this exercise you will learn how to find a GeoDataFrame's coordinate reference system and how to change it. The school districts GeoDataFrame is available as school_districts.
This exercise is part of the course
Visualizing Geospatial Data in Python
Exercise instructions
- Print the first row of
school_districtsand thecrsproperty of this GeoDataFrame. - Convert the coordinate reference system of
school_districtstoepsg:3857. - Print the
crsproperty again to confirm that it was changed.
Hands-on interactive exercise
Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.
# Print the first row of school districts GeoDataFrame and the crs
print(____.head(1))
print(____.crs)
# Convert the crs to epsg:3857
school_districts.geometry = school_districts.geometry.____(epsg = 3857)
# Print the first row of school districts GeoDataFrame and the crs again
print(school_districts.head(1))
print(____.____)
