Create a Spatial Database
For example, PostGIS:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/install/postgis/
Configuration
See the example postgis and example sqlite.
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)
