I'm currently building my first Django-based app, which is proceeding fairly well, thus far. One of the goals is to allow users to post information (text, pics, video) and for the app to be able to automatically detect the location where they posted this information. That data would then ideally be able to be filtered later, such as viewing the posts that were made within a specific radius.
I've been reading a bit about GeoDjango and it sounds intriguing. A colleague, though, suggested everything that can be done using GeoDjango is equally efficient utilizing the Google Maps API with JavaScript or JQuery to obtain the proper coordinates. Essentially, I'm looking to see what benefits GeoDjango would give this project over using just the Google Maps API. If I've already started a project in basic Django, is incorporating GeoDjango problematic? I'm still attempting to master the basics of Django and venturing into GeoDjango may be too much. Or not. Any insight appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group. To post to this group, send email to django-users@googlegroups.com.
