Built upon the amazing localtileserver package by @banesullivan, geemap now supports loading local raster dataset and remote Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) with only one line of code.

It supports both the ipyleaflet and folium plotting backends. Use either import geemap or import geemap.foliumap as geemap. The remaining code stays the same.

Add a local raster dataset

import geemap
m = geemap.Map()
m.add_local_tile('dem.tif', palette='matplotlib.Viridis_10', layer_name="DEM")
m

Add a remote COG

import geemap
m = geemap.Map()
url = 'https://opendata.digitalglobe.com/events/california-fire-2020/pre-event/2018-02-16/pine-gulch-fire20/1030010076004E00.tif'
m.add_remote_tile(url, layer_name="CA Fire")
m
