When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Working with spatial data means more than making maps—it means producing results that planners and decision-makers can trust. In this short, hands-on course, Crunch Vectors with GeoPandas, learners practice transforming raw vector data into map-ready, planning-quality insights using GeoPandas.

Through realistic examples and guided activities, learners perform spatial joins between cities and counties, choose spatial relationships intentionally, reproject data to EPSG:3857 for web mapping, and summarize attributes into clear service-territory totals. Designed for beginner data analysts, this course builds confidence in spatial reasoning, validation, and aggregation—helping learners deliver datasets that support accurate mapping, reporting, and real-world planning decisions.

Module details

In this module, you will explore spatial joins in GeoPandas by connecting cities to their corresponding counties. Through a planning-focused scenario, learners practice selecting the appropriate spatial predicate, validating join results, and identifying common issues that can affect service-territory analysis.

What's included

2 videos1 reading1 assignment

In this module, you will explore how coordinate reference systems affect spatial accuracy and why reprojection to EPSG:3857 is required for web mapping. Through videos, readings, reflection, and hands-on practice, you will prepare spatial data that aligns correctly with web maps and supports planning-ready analysis.
