Hi Nick,

I am not sure if openstreet will solve my purpose. What I have in mind is
that when someone is planning a trip , he can enter the route details in
the trip info. This should give the approximate distance etc. ( btw bike =
motorcycle here in India). Also apart from google maps I have not really
come across any mapping service which has a good coverage of roads and
cities in India.

I understand, what you are looking for seems like an application of 
geodjango and a classic gis application.
Still using openstreet map will give you access to a lot of information 
even if the data are not complete, alternatively you could use tha 
google maps api but I am not sure if it is free, and even if it is free 
today you have no guarantee that it will be tomorrow.


Speaking about my area, which is a small village in the southern Crete, 
Greece, I see that most main roads are mapped in openstreet map.
I have already improved the existing data by adding a few small villages 
that where missing, and today
I have added some agricultural roads in the near vicinity. May be your 
case is similar.


Anyway here is a tutorial with geodjango and google maps, that may come 
close to what you are after


http://invisibleroads.com/tutorials/geodjango-googlemaps-build.html

and some map related django packages

https://www.djangopackages.com/grids/g/maps/

nothing special with the links, you can find a lot more, just by 
googling geodjango and maps.


Keep in mind the risk of google changing the license and pricing of 
their api (e.g the translation api used to be free of charge, now it has 
a price)

Re: Google Maps with Routes

[Nick Apostolakis]

Hello there,

why don't you use openstreetmap service instead of google maps.
I am not an expert but it seems that there are a few references relating
django and openstreet map
a couple from a google search are:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editors/Django
https://github.com/etnalubma/django-osm
http://www.slideshare.net/mishok13/making-use-of-openstreetmap-data-with-python


personally, I have used osmand to capture gpx track data and then upload
them to openstreet map and create a bike route
or http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ if you want just to plot your track

Re: Google maps

[Sam Walters]

Hi

This also depends how server-side oriented you want this to be?

Its good to learn geodjango. (that way if your calculation areas of
polygons, loading layers you can just make this python+server side
instead of writing it in javascript.
Also with lots of ajax related request/response designs some people
look at using dajax or something like that to reduce development time.

Re: Google maps

[Shawn Milochik]

Just do a Google search for the Google Maps API. It's the same regardless of 
whether you're using Django or something else to generate the HTML pages. You 
mainly have to write JavaScript.

Also, search github and bitbucket to see if someone's created and shared some 
code for Django to easily generate the templates and JavaScript for you so you 
don't have to write much other than some lovely Python.

Re: Google maps like app for Django for small area?

[Stodge]

Thanks. I already know about geodjango but that's not the whole
solution from my understanding. Though searching again for geodjango I
eventually found MapServer, TileCache and OpenLayers. I *think* this
might be what I'm looking for.

Re: Google maps routes in geodjango

[Peter Landry]

Ubuntu has fairly up-to-date Postgis packages available, I believe. That
might be an easier route to start from if you're unfamiliar with building
from source.

Thanks for hints.

But here is another problem, how can I store my data do geodb with

According to the GMap api docs, you can request driving directions from the
client with or without geometric data for the routing polyline:

http://code.google.com/intl/it-IT/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#Directions

Once you have pulled the polyline from Gmap server, you can send them back
to your server and store them in your geodb.

You probably will want to decode the polyline from google's encoding format
before storing
http://facstaff.unca.edu/mcmcclur/GoogleMaps/EncodePolyline/

Re: Google maps routes in geodjango

[Jorge Bastida]

Probably you can download the route as KML. Parse that XML, and use
the data in your app

Hope this help you

Re: Google maps routes in geodjango

[Shawn Milochik]

When you use the Google Maps API and request a driving route, what comes back 
in the data?

You'll want to go here:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/

I integrated a google map with a PHP application. Most of the heavy
lifting is done on the client side with Javascript.

Michael,

I assume you want to use geopy to grab the latitude and longitude from
Google when you submit the form, correct?  Then how do you pass the
latitude and longitude to the Google Maps API?  Are you using JSON?

Re: Google Maps API

[Michael]

I would search for "google maps API." Really though the integration
with google maps is mostly a front end application. So you would
create it all with front end javascript.

The only real django knowledge to pass here would be to make store the
longitude and latitude values that google gives you with the address
to submit. This generally involves an extra 2 fields in the database,
but saves on valuable calls to Google. I used geopy to get to the
google api from python. It has worked without an issues on my server.

Hope that helps,

Michael

I'd start by going to the Google web site and searching with the
following three words: django google maps

Good luck,
