HTML5 Geolocation
Django Crash Course
What is GeoDjango?
GeoDjango Basics
Demo Application
Geolocation
W3C Geolocation
GPS, nearby Wi-Fi networks, cell towers, IP address
IE 9, FF 3.6, Safari 5.0, Chrome, Opera 10.6, iOS, Android
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition
navigator.geolocation.watchPosition
W3C Geolocation
function showMap(position) {
console.log(position);
}
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
showMap
);
W3C Geolocation

models.py
from django.db import models
class City(models.Model):
name = models.TextField()
class UserGroup(models.Model):
name = models.TextField()
city = models.ForeignKey(City)
started = models.DateField()
def join(self, user):
# add user to group
urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns(
url(
r'^user-groups/(?P<city_name>\w+)$',
'myapp.views.user_groups'
),
)
views.py
def user_groups(request, city_name):
city = City.objects.get(name=city_name)
groups = UserGroup.objects.filter(city=city)
return render(request, 'user_groups.html',
{'groups': groups})
user_groups.html
{% extends "base.html%}
<ul>
{% for group in groups %}

What is GeoDjango?
“world-class geographic Web framework” included in Django core
Combine existing Python & DB tools with standard API
but first …
Some GIS Problems
The Earth is not a sphere!
How to store & query efficiently
Vendor implementations
Wide range of data formats
Tiger/LINE, Shapefiles, E00, OGR, GeoJSON, WKT, EWKT, EWKB, GML, KML, OSM, GLOBE, TIFF, ArcGrid ….
GeoDjango Basics
GeoDjango Model Fields
from django.contrib.gis.db import models
models.PointField
models.LineStringField
models.PolygonField
models.MultiPointField
models.MultiLineStringField
models.MultiPolygonField
models.GeometryCollectionField
Given a Set of Geo Objects
Measure & Find:
distance, area, perimeter, centroid, envelope
Edit:
transform (SRID), scale
Operations:
intersection, difference, union
Output:
geojson, gml, kml, svg
SalesRegion.objects.all().kml()
Geo Querying
contains, covers, crosses, disjoint, equals, intersects, touches, left/right, distance_lt, distance_gt …
SalesRegion.objects.filter(
poly__distance_lt=(pnt, D(mi=500))
)
