AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'crs' when using geopandas

Question

I am getting below error when using geopandas and shapely

AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'crs'

Below is the code:

#geometry = [Point(xy) for xy in zip(complete_major_accidents['longitude'], complete_major_accidents['latitude'])]
#crs='none'
geometry = gpd.points_from_xy(complete_nonmajor_accidents.longitude, complete_nonmajor_accidents.latitude)
world = gpd.read_file(gpd.datasets.get_path('naturalearth_lowres'))
#geometries = world['geometry'].apply(lambda x: x.wkt).values
#print(geometries)
#print(tuple(geometry))
gdf = GeoDataFrame(complete_major_accidents,  geometry)
gdf


ax = world[world['name'] == 'United Kingdom'].plot(figsize=(15, 15))
#print(type(ax))
gdf.plot(ax = ax, marker='o', color='red', markersize=15, edgecolor='black')
#gdf.plot(ax=world.plot(figsize=(15, 15)), marker='o', color='red', markersize=15)

can you always include the full traceback when asking about errors? they include tons of important debugging info, such as exactly where the error was caused and how. Check out the How to Ask guide for more guidance. thanks! — Michael Delgado, Commented Jun 30, 2022 at 16:33
also - what's going on here? gdf.plot(ax = ax.plot(...))? and can you indent your code correctly? whitespace is really important in python - it's hard enough for us to read someone else's code when it's formatted correctly :) — Michael Delgado, Commented Jun 30, 2022 at 16:35
the code in the traceback is different from the code in your example. can you make sure that the code runs straight through and that you post the exact code you ran to generate the error? — Michael Delgado, Commented Jun 30, 2022 at 19:36
but more generally, you're calling plotting functions inside other plotting functions. why are you doing this? gdf.plot(ax = ax.plot(...))? what are you trying to do here? what happens if you just do gdf.plot("column name", **plotting_kwargs), e.g. gdf.plot(marker='o', color='red', markersize=15, edgecolor='black', ax=ax)? — Michael Delgado, Commented Jun 30, 2022 at 19:40

I am finally able to resolve it by changing this below piece of code

gdf = GeoDataFrame(complete_major_accidents,  geometry)

to

gdf = GeoDataFrame(complete_nonmajor_accidents,  geometry = geometry)

I got the same error after updating Geopandas from an older version. Following fix did the trick.

self.ax = gpd.GeoDataFrame().plot(figsize=(18, 12))

to

self.ax = gpd.GeoDataFrame(geometry=[]).plot(figsize=(18, 12))
