folium map not showing datbricks python

Question

I am working on Databricks and have a folium map:

import geopandas as gpd
import matplotlib as plt
import os
import folium
from IPython.display import display

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

I get the following:

<folium.folium.Map at 0x7f9978eec748>

I tried Folium map not displaying to no avail.

Any suggestions

It did work on my machine. THere must be some problem with your setup. — Himanshu Poddar, Apr 15 '19 at 09:34
Very odd. I tried running a matplot on the same cluster and came with a blank as well. I tried your suggestion on a new cluster, and got the same result --> False — frank, Apr 15 '19 at 11:23

Try this

import folium
import webbrowser
map_osm = folium.Map(location=[45.5236, -122.6750])
map_osm.save('map.html')
webbrowser.open('map.html')

The output of the function is a HTML file and Python IDLE fails to render the html document unless explicitly called. You can also try using the same code on Jupyter notebook which runs on a browser and can render html map at ease.

Turning the map into HTML then displaying worked for me in Databricks using Python 3.5

world_map = folium.Map()
html_map = world_map._repr_html_()
displayHTML(html_map)

The original answer came from Databricks forums by ShumZZ: https://forums.databricks.com/questions/444/how-to-create-maps-in-databricks.html
