GeoDjango opens new opportunities for free and low cost geo application

Since google map matrix has pricing plans, web developers are started thinking of an alternative. I guess, you can use https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/10.2708/76.3780 as an alternative since lot of companies and institutions are contributing for it.

Its quite interesting and innovative idea that Django ( python webdevelopment framework) is coming up with module for geographic web application GeoDjango. GeoDjango is an included contrib module for Django that turns it into a world-class geographic Web framework. GeoDjango strives to make it as simple as possible to create geographic Web applications, like location-based services. Its features include:


Django model fields for OGC geometries and raster data.
Extensions to Django’s ORM for querying and manipulating spatial data.
Loosely-coupled, high-level Python interfaces for GIS geometry and raster operations and data manipulation in different formats.
Editing geometry fields from the admin.
