Django Location Field

Allows users to input locations based on latitude and longitude, using a Google maps widget.

Status

Tests are performed with Python 2.7, Django 1.7 1.8 and SpatiaLite. We'd like to have automated tests for Python 3 too, but it looks like pysqlite (which is used for testing) does not support it yet, so it's blocking us. You can get more details in the tox.ini file.

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 1.7 and 1.8
• Python 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 PYTHONPATH).

   pip install django-location-field

2. Create a Spatial Database

3. Add location_field to INSTALLED_APPS your settings.py file

For example, PostGIS:

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

Basic usage (using Spatial Database)

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

class Place(models.Model):
    city = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    location = LocationField(based_fields=[city], zoom=7, default='Point(1.0 1.0)')
    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.plain import PlainLocationField

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