There seems to be a dearth of examples illustrating best practices in
deploying Google Maps with Django.
Common recommendations are to use GeoDjango.
Of course, it doesn't have to be Google Maps. It could be
OpenSteetMap, Yahoo Maps, or some other mapping API.
Not necessarily related, there are also suggestions to use JQuery to
handle AJAX requests.
I'm trying to understand how to take the next step -- to make the
required GXmlHttp GET requests calling a Django view that returns
marker points, while not violating the RESTful nature of Django URLs.
What would be the recommendation?
To help the discussion along with an example, this might be the
implementation of a pure AJAX solution returning XML with a Get
request to a PHP page:
var request = GXmlHttp.create();
request.open('GET','query.php?var1=' + val1 + '&var2=' + val1, true);
request.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (request.readyState == 4) {
if (request.status == 200) {
var xmlsource = request.responseXML;
var markers =
xmlsource.documentElement.getElementsByTagName
("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var lat =
parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat"));
var lng =
parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng"));
var latlng = new GLatLng(lat,lng);
