# Overview

In this lesson, we will learn how to create more complex **static maps**, as well as
**interactive web maps**. 


## Learning goals

After this lesson, you should know how to:

- create static thematic maps comprising of multiple data layers using
  [GeoPandas](https://geopandas.org) and [matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org),
- add base maps, such as [OpenStreetMap](https://osm.org), to such maps using
  [contextily](https://contextily.readthedocs.io),
- create simple interactive maps using
  [Folium](https://python-visualization.github.io/folium/), and
- enrich the interactive maps with popups and hover tooltips.
