Django Locater

Django Locater is an experiment in geolocation.

A database is populated with locations. The user enters his location and a search radius. He is given a list of locations within his search criteria, sorted by distance. The locations are both plotted on a Google Map and printed as an ordered list.

Installation

  1. Put the locater directory somewhere in your Python path (like inside your Django project folder).
  2. Add locater to your settings.INSTALLED_APPS.

Requirements

  • geopy does all the heavy lifting.

A Word to the Wise

This code is just a proof-of-concept. It has never been used in a production environment. So, in the words of Mystikal, "Watch youself!" (Further advice: "Shake ya ass. Show me watch you're working with.")
