Let users pick locations using a map widget and store its latitude and longitude.

Stable version: 1.6.1
Beta version: 2.0.0b0

The master branch contains unstable code for the 2.x release, that is not ready for production.

You must refer to the 1.6.1 tag for a stable release.

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.

• Support for multiple map engines, like Google Maps, OpenStreetMap and Mapbox.
• Works with both Spatial and non-Spatial databases.

• Django 1.7 to 1.9
• Python 2.7 to 3.5

• PostGIS
• SpatiaLite

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

   pip install django-location-field

2. Add location_field.apps.DefaultConfig to INSTALLED_APPS your settings.py file

For example, PostGIS:

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

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.

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)
