Panel empowers you to craft complex, high-performance geospatial dashboards, while Streamlit lets you build rapid, intuitive apps with minimal effort.

For this article, I want to compare two heavy hitters when it comes to visualizing geospatial data with Python: Panel, known for its powerful, flexible, and highly customizable dashboard capabilities, and Streamlit, a simple, user-friendly library that excels in quickly building interactive web apps.

Both libraries offer unique features that cater to different needs and expertise levels in the geospatial and data science communities, making them ideal choices for visualizing maps, geospatial datasets, and geographic insights.

Let us compare the two by examining their ease of use, integration with geospatial libraries, customization options, performance, and suitability for different types of geospatial visualization tasks, helping you determine which tool is better suited for your project needs.

For detailed geospatial projects, Panel’s customization shines, while Streamlit’s ease of use makes it the perfect choice for quick prototypes
