Folium map not displaying in Spyder

Question

The title says it all : I can't get Spyder to display a map with folium.

Here is what I get :

import folium
m = folium.Map(location=[45.5236, -122.6750])
m

No error (and no map), just this :

< folium.folium.Map at 0xd03fcf8 >

m.render() # No idea what .render() it's supposed to do, 
# but "render" sounds like maybe it could display the map, so I tried it.
# But it prints nothing

m.render

< bound method LegacyMap.render of < folium.folium.Map object at 0x000000000D03FCF8 > >

Any idea ?

Thanks

(Note : I tried this, with no success)

If you have a map m you could use:

m.save("mymap.html")

It saves your map in your working directory as html. You still have to open it manually in Chrome/IE. The advantage of this is that you can e-mail your map to anyone you want, even if he/she does not have python on his/her computer.

It seems folium generates web based maps, and those can't be rendered by Spyder. So you need to use the Jupyter notebook if you want to work with folium.

Even though I can have `mplleaflet` display leaflet maps in a new chrome tab ? (Not sure if it's the same thing) – François M. Sep 21 '17 at 13:33
If it opens a new tab for you from Spyder, it should work. But the map won't be shown directly on Spyder. – Carlos Cordoba Sep 21 '17 at 14:01
Yes, that is what it does with `mplleaflet`. But I can't get it to do it with `folium` – François M. Sep 21 '17 at 14:06

Sorry, I can't help you with that. – Carlos Cordoba Sep 21 '17 at 15:37

Also open the map directly from the spyder ide by importing webbrowser(provided you've install the webbrowser package).


import webbrwoser
webbrowser.open_tab("map.html")

```webbrowser.open_new_tab('test.html')``` as of May 18, 2023. also, ```webbrowser``` is an embedded package in Python (no need to install it) – Manuel F May 18 '23 at 10:02
