Known Issues

Here are some known issues with Google Colab:

Chapter 1: Introducing GEE and Geemap

Chapter 2: Creating Interactive Maps

• 2.3.3. The plotly backend

• 2.3.4. The pydeck backend

• 2.3.6. The heremap backend needs an API key

• 2.4.4. Planet basemaps need an API key

Chapter 3: Using Earth Engine Data

• 3.9. Calling JavaScript functions from Python: Calling functions from the default OEEL library works, but calling functions from custom libraries does not.

Chapter 4: Using Local Geospatial Data

• 4.3. Local raster datasets: localtileserver does not support Colab.

• 4.10. Converting NetCDF to ee.Image: A temporary workaround is to install an older version of pyymal: pip install pyyaml==5.4.1

• 4.12. Reading PostGIS data: PostGIS database is not supported in Colab.

Chapter 5: Visualizing Geospatial Data

• 5.14.2. Visualizing planet imagery: Needs a Planet API key.

• 5.18. Visualing NetCDF data: A temporary workaround is to install an older version of pyymal: pip install pyyaml==5.4.1

• 5.19. Visualizing LiDAR data: The view_lidar() function is not supported in Colab because pyvista does not support Colab.

• 5.20. Visualizing raster data in 3D: The plot_raster_3d() function is not supported in Colab because pyvista-xarray does not support Colab.
