Features

• The map will automatically update after changing a field based on
• Works with both Spatial and non-Spatial databases
• Works perfectly with formsets

Compatibility

• Django 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5
• Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.x

It was only tested with PostGIS but may work with other Spatial Databases.

Installation

1. Install through pip (or manually place it on your PYTHON_PATH).

   pip install git+http://github.com/codasus/django-location-field#egg=location_field

2. Create a Spatial Database

For example, PostGIS:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/install/postgis/

Configuration

See the example project.

Basic usage (using Spatial Database)

from django.contrib.gis.db import models
from django.contrib.gis.geos import Point
from location_field.models import LocationField

class Place(models.Model):
    city = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    location = LocationField(based_fields=[city], zoom=7, default=Point(1, 1))
    objects = models.GeoManager()

Look that you must put models.GeoManager() in your model, or some errors will occur.

Basic usage (without Spatial Database)

from django.db import models
from location_field.models import PlainLocationField

class Place(models.Model):
    city = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    location = PlainLocationField(based_fields=[city], zoom=7)
