Data Analytics using Python Visualizations - Plotting on a Google Map Using Google Map API

This video tutorial demonstrates how to plot glyphs on a Google map using the Google Maps API and Bokeh. It covers configuring the map with gmap options, using the gmap function to draw the map, and creating a column data source to plot points. The tutorial also discusses using the Google Maps API key to remove watermarks and enhance map clarity. The process is demonstrated using a map of London, where four points are plotted. The video concludes with suggestions for further learning about Bokeh and Google Maps API.
