Earth map generator alternative to Basemap

Since Basemap is deprecated, is there any other alternative such cartopy, geopandas, etc.. that can generate this beautiful maps (and not just the contour-type) that I got with Basemap with different projections? (hopefully that works offline too) enter image description here

Does cartopy’s ax.stock_image() do the trick? It looks ver similar to what you’re shooting for.

For example, to plot a globe using a geostationary projection:

import cartopy.crs as ccrs
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

ax = plt.axes(projection=ccrs.Geostationary())
ax.stock_img()
plt.show()

enter image description here Check out the guide to projections to get more projection options: https://scitools.org.uk/cartopy/docs/v0.15/crs/projections.html#cartopy-projections
