Comment (by int-ua):
IMHO the whole GeoDjango docs should be rewritten from scratch. After
excluding everyone who written this one from the process. It's the worst
documentation I've seen in years, literally.
It's outdated: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/22456
It tries to instruct on usage before installation.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/
In the installation tutorial in gives you a command to execute and right
afterwards adds that it's not needed at all.

It doesn't contain any info on integrating GeoDjango into an existing
project.
It doesn't even contain clear info about its' benefits over using two
FloatFields when all I want is just a simple map of objects: the most
widespread use case AFAIU.
