My wife recommends "folium": https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/folium. This is a Python package talking to the "folium" Javascript library that displays the map.
Here is a simple example: https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/python-visualization/folium/blob/master/examples/ContinuousWorld.ipynb.

Hi Roland,
The BHPToolkit map is made using the Google Maps - MyMaps service (www.google.com/mymaps). As we currently have a small number of users I have just been keeping the map up to date by hand. Unfortunately it does not look like there is a programatic way to use MyMaps (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40488333/google-my-maps-api).
Perhaps there is a way to do this using the usual Google Maps API. It’s certainly something we will want as well as our user base grows.

Hello Niels,
after the discussion at the ET meeting in London last week, would you mind sharing the scripts (or instructions if you have any) that were used to produce the user map at:
https://bhptoolkit.org/users.html
For the ET we would like to have a similar life map:
https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/260
It seems that Google's API can find out the location based on the names (at least based on the original simple MMA script that was used at NCSA).
Yours, Roland
