I am not sure if folks saw - but Sam Gardner worked with Kyle Barron (both attended the Scientific Python conference) on a new example showcasing xradar + lonboard!

For those unfamiliar with lonboard, here is a short snippet from their docs:

"A Python library for fast, interactive geospatial vector data visualization in Jupyter.

Building on cutting-edge technologies like GeoArrow and GeoParquet in conjunction with GPU-based map rendering, Lonboard aims to enable visualizing large geospatial datasets interactively through a simple interface."

It is incredibly fast and smooth! Great seeing updates on this side, I am excited to see more development here

Hey!
Is there a rendered notebook somewhere? I only see code from the notebook, no maps or visual stuff.
