can I create a drop down list on the folium map in python?

Question

can I render a drop down list on the folium map in python to switch between multiple data?

I know there is the option of layers, but i wanna use the dropdown list? is there any possible way to do that???

Answer 1

You can add a LayerControl to a map. That will give you a list with layers with buttons. If you make a layer for each data source, you can switch between them.

m = folium.Map()
# add data layers
folium.LayerControl().add_to(m)

For a simple example check out this notebook:
