Is it possible to organise layers in groups?

[quinzyamg2]

for department in car_per_dep:
    feature_group = FeatureGroup(department)
    for device_id in car_per_dep[department]:
        lat = car_per_dep[department][device_id]['lat']
        lng = car_per_dep[department][device_id]['lng']
        current_driver = car_per_dep[department][device_id]['current_driver']
        car_icon = features.CustomIcon(dir_path + "/images/car_new.png", icon_size=(20, 35))
        feature_group.add_child(
            Marker(
                location=[lat, lng],
                popup=current_driver,
                icon=car_icon
            )
        )
    map.add_child(feature_group)

map.add_child(LayerControl())
map.add_child(MeasureControl())

I would like to have sub-layers in the layer control, but i cant figure out how to do this. Im building a map that plots all our company vehicles on a map. But now we would also like to plot our clients and so on. I fear that the layer control will become a bit crowded so i thought i'd just group the vehicle layers together that are also listed per department and then also all the clients in another layer group.

Hi @quinzyamg2, check out the FeatureGroupSubGroup plugin, it allows you to combine feature groups into a feature group: https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/python-visualization/folium/blob/master/examples/Plugins.ipynb#FeatureGroupSubGroup

I'm closing the issue since it's a question and not something we can take action on. But feel free to discuss here more.

HI @Conengmo, thank you. This will work perfect.
