Sorry if this is very basic, but I am new to geo data. I am trying to write a code in geopandas to determine if a given point lies inside a constituency. I am using google maps to determine the latitude and longitude of a certain place.
shp_data = GeoDataFrame.from_file('/maps/assembly-constituencies/India_AC.shp')
ind = shp_data['geometry']
point_hn = Point(77.106281, 28.627625)
for consti in ind:
if consti.boundary.contains(point_hn):
print('True')
else:
print('False')
Right now it is showing False for every boundary. I also checked for single constituencies with known places and also corrected for number of digits after the decimal place.
I want to know if the numbers in the geometry of the shp file are really latitude and longitudes.
