How to get the longitude/latitude from a linestring

Question

I have a dataframe with a column of linestrings. I want to convert the linestrings to its corresponding latitude/longitude so that I can plot it with basemap. My code is as follows:

gdf = gpd.read_file('./call2016.shp') #read the data into a variable

streetsaslinestring = gdf.loc[: , "geometry"] #getting the linestring column

Next, I want to convert the data as described as lon/lat.

streetsinlatlong    = convert_etrs89_to_lonlat(streetsaslinestring)

streetsinlatlong.to_file('./streetslonglat.shp') #store it as .shp in order to plot it with basemap

m.readshapefile('./streetslonglat', 'streets') #read as shape file

The geometry column looks like this: geometry column

How can I convert the longstring data?

Answer 1

I think you can simply use

Lats, Lons = LineStringObject.coords.xy

It will return the latitude and longitude array separately.
