ValueError: startfile: filepath too long for Windows

[robmarkcole]

When running:

from geojsonio import display
with open('map.geojson') as f:
    contents = f.read()
    display(contents)

with data from Google in the file map.geojson I receive the following error:

Hi @robmarkcole,
I don't have Windows so it's difficult for me to figure out what the real max. length would be. Do you think you could help figure it out on your machine?

A workaround is to use display(..., force_gist=True)

[HADDADENICAR]

i have the same problem after adding force_gist=True i have the following error
AuthenticationFailed: 401 Requires authentication

[minroh]

I get the same error:

AuthenticationFailed: 401 Requires authentication
I have Windows 10 Enterprise x64
Python 3.6.4

[tomchristian]

I have the same issue as Haddadenicar and Minroh.
In the 1st case I get: ValueError: startfile: filepath too long for Windows
With force_gist=True, I get: AuthenticationFailed: 401 Requires authentication

Same problem here

Has anyone managed to find a workaround for this? Still encountering the same issues described above - file too long, then 401 with force_gist.
geojsonio==0.0.3

I use make_url instead of display to avoid this error.
Here's the step.
room = geopandas.read_file("file").to_json()
url = geojsonio.make_url(room)
print(url)
#double click the url

Hi, I am facing the same issue, but using the above workaround gives me error due to too long url....is there any other workaround ? My try is to over plot building's footprint on map and I get this message (ValueError: startfile: filepath too long for Windows) when I try to plot too many buildings. Thus is there a work round by making a loop for plotting element but pointing the same page ?
Thanks in advance for any help
