Finding Nearest Subway Entrances with Geopandas and MultiPoint
It seems like you are trying to use Geopandas with a dataset that contains points ( longitude and latitude) but the points are stored in a MultiPoint format. However, as your code is showing, using MultiPoint with a series from Geopandas does not work directly. Instead, convert the series into a numpy array: pts = np.array(df_yes_entry['geometry'].values) And then use nearest_points function to find nearest points: for o in nearest_points(pt, pts): print(o) Here is your updated code with these changes:
