Not quite sure what you're looking for, but I've used google maps with django, without using GeoDjango.
http://www.brassbandresults.co.uk/map/ The script used in this page is here: http://www.brassbandresults.co.uk/map/map_script.js which is generated using this template: function initialize() { if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) { var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas")); {% if Band %} map.setCenter(new GLatLng({{Band.latitude}}, {{Band.longitude}}), 12); {% else %} map.setCenter(new GLatLng(53.800651, -1.454), 8); {% endif %} map.setUIToDefault(); var mgr = new MarkerManager(map); var lBandMarkers = []; {% for band in Bands %} {% if band.latitude %} {% if band.longitude %} lPoint{{band.id}} = new GLatLng({{band.latitude}}, {{band.longitude}}); lMarker{{band.id}} = new GMarker(lPoint{{band.id}}, {title: "{{band.name}}"}); GEvent.addListener(lMarker{{band.id}}, "click", function() { var myHtml = "<b>{{band.name}}</b><br/>{% if band.rehearsal_night_1 %}Rehearsals {{band.rehearsal_nights}}{%endif%}<br/>[<a href='/bands/{{band.slug}}/'>Contest Results</a>] [<a target='_blank' href='{{band.website}}'>Band Website</a>]"; map.openInfoWindowHtml(lPoint{{band.id}}, myHtml); }); lBandMarkers.push(lMarker{{band.id}}); {% endif %} {% endif %} {% endfor %} mgr.addMarkers(lBandMarkers, 0); mgr.refresh(); } } Hope that helps, Tim. 504Django wrote: > Hmm ... the lack of a suggested solution to my question is > discouraging.
