<p>and thank you for answering
I am trying to plot a <a href="https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20200413150909/plot31.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">quiver plot</a> on a basemap (The basemap has to be a good quality map such as openstreetmap) and I can't find a way to do it.</p>
<p>There are some examples on the web of doing it with a package called mpl_toolkits which is now deprecated. Another option might be using geopandas and contextily. I was able to create a point plot but could not find a way to plot 3d plots (contour/contourf/pcolor).</p>
<p>Has anyone done it before?
Thanks again

The answer to your question is in the Basemap documentation:

and why do you want to plot a quiver plot in 3d at all?

By 3D I include somethinh like contours. How would I plot wind velocity/ direction other then by 3D plots?

I was out of the office for a few days and came back this morning.
The  @Weiss suggestion were probably greate but they lead me to another question. I am not able to install basemap on anacondas (this is why I wrote it was deprecated in the original question). Does anyone know a good tutorial to how this is done?

By now I am sure that I was right inthe original question. Basemap is now deprecated and replaced by cartopy. Hopefully I will past the code here in a few days
