Wait so does anyone know how to do this? I posted this a long time ago.
How do I define a geography field? I need a geography column so I can perform geographic queries on it and the documentation doesn't give me a definitive way on how to do it. Would it be like: city = models.CharField(max_length=50, GeometryField.geography = true) ???
