You can also load ZIP files that contain your data::
zipfile = "zip:///Users/name/Downloads/cb_2017_us_state_500k.zip"
states = geopandas.read_file(zipfile)
If the dataset is in a folder in the ZIP file, you have to append its name::
zipfile = "zip:///Users/name/Downloads/gadm36_AFG_shp.zip!data"
If there are multiple datasets in a folder in the ZIP file, you also have to specify the filename::
zipfile = "zip:///Users/name/Downloads/gadm36_AFG_shp.zip!data/gadm36_AFG_1.shp"
*geopandas* can also get data from a PostGIS database using the ``read_postgis()`` command.
