## What it is
GeoNotebook is a Jupyter notebook extension providing client/server interactive geospatial visualization and analysis, built on GeoJS and tile serving with mapnik/GDAL. It was jointly developed by Kitware and NASA Ames.

## Use cases
- visualize geospatial raster and vector data in a Jupyter notebook
- serve map tiles interactively while analyzing data in Python
- explore satellite imagery with interactive maps in notebooks
- perform geospatial analysis with notebook-based workflows
- embed interactive maps alongside Python analysis code

## When to choose
- you work with geospatial data inside Jupyter and want interactive map visualization
- you need tile-based rendering of large raster datasets in notebooks
- you want a NASA/Kitware-backed geospatial notebook environment

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the latest release dates to 2019
- you only need simple plotting without geospatial interactivity
- you cannot install system dependencies like GDAL and mapnik

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: data-visualization, image-processing, web-framework
- domain: data-visualization, developer-tools
- platform: python
- tags: jupyter-notebook-extension, geospatial-visualization, tile-server, geojs, mapnik, gis, geospatial, jupyter, web-server
