change map location after creating? about folium

[alpha-beta-soup]

Simplest thing to do would be to collect your points before creating the Map object, and querying the maximum and minimum latitude and longitude (max(lats_list)...). This essentially gives you a bounding box; find the width and height of this and divide those in two, and you have your centre. Not much extra code to roll for yourself, but I agree this would be useful. An option to set zoom_start to the minimum that contains all markers would be useful, too.

I agree, and I totally did this for the first round of code, it is basically a center of mass equation for particles, but I was hoping I was missing something :)

@digitalvapor i agree with @alpha-beta-soup, i have done this alot. The best thing to do is calculate the center of the points center set the center of the map to that.

There is a neat trick you can do, you can use shapely to calculate the bounds on the fly from the points. you need to no doubt look through them anyway/at some point...

@birdage Thanks for the tip!

Leaflet has a fitBounds method to accomplish this. It would be great to integrate it into folium, so that the map is redrawn to include every object or a group of them.

@themiurgo i agree, i thought there was a method to reset the location? ive always know the location when ive created the map, but it would be helpful not having to do that, and to just call a function to do it for you!

you can set or get Map.location using a point (such as (lat, lon))
