Jupyter Notebooks: display local shapefiles in map widget?

HaydenHinton

I am just starting to explore ArcGIS API for python Jupyter Notebooks and am looking for a method to display a map in my notebook that I can add shapefiles to that are saved locally. More specifically I am after a way to have a persistent map widget in my notebook that has layers that will update through various geoprocessing steps.

I have explored the map.gis() function but it appears to only be able to map.addlayer() that exist on AGOL or an Enterprise portal. I would be great if I could pull local shapefiles in this same way.

I have stumbled upon a couple other modules that look like they might accomplish this, but I wanted to ask here and see if there is an out-of-the-box solution first.

Hi Hayden Hinton‌

Here's one way of adding local shapefiles to a map in Jupyter Notebook:

<SPAN class="keyword token">from</SPAN> arcgis<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>gis <SPAN class="keyword token">import</SPAN> GIS
