Achievements

The aim of the Django map widgets is to make all Geo Django widgets more user-friendly and configurable.

Django map widgets package has support for Mapbox and Google Map services currently, if you want to see more widgets and think you can help, feel free to contribute to the project.
We would be happy to review and merge your contributions. :)

Installation

pip install django-map-widgets

Add ‘map_widgets’ to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
     ...
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',

    'mapwidgets',
]

Collects the static files into STATIC_ROOT.

python manage.py collectstatic

Django Admin

from django.contrib.gis.db import models
from mapwidgets.widgets import GooglePointFieldWidget


class CityAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    formfield_overrides = {
        models.PointField: {"widget": GooglePointFieldWidget}
    }

Django Forms

from mapwidgets.widgets import GooglePointFieldWidget, GoogleStaticOverlayMapWidget


class CityForm(forms.ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model = City
        fields = ("coordinates", "city_hall")
        widgets = {
            'coordinates': GooglePointFieldWidget,
            'city_hall': GoogleStaticOverlayMapWidget,
        }

...and your template should look something like this

<form method="POST" action="">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{form.media}}
    {{form.as_p}}
</form>

Requirements

Django Map Widgets needs Jquery dependency to work in your regular views. In Django Admin case, you don't need to provide the jQuery. Just add map widgets to your django admin forms.
