Can I use this for large-scale geospatial datasets?

Yes, the skill includes performance optimizations such as spatial indexing, vectorized operations, and Arrow-based I/O to handle large datasets more efficiently than standard loops.

What types of spatial data can this skill handle?

This skill is designed for vector geospatial data, supporting formats like Shapefiles, GeoJSON, GeoPackage, Parquet, and PostGIS database connections.

How does the skill handle coordinate systems?

It provides automated workflows for checking, setting, and reprojecting Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS), ensuring accurate distance and area calculations across different projections.

Does it support interactive visualization?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for creating interactive HTML maps using the .explore() method and folium, as well as static cartographic plots with matplotlib and contextily.
