Description: Django-google-maps is a simple application that provides the basic
        hooks into google maps V3 api for use in django models from django
        version 1.3.
        
        I'm using this to allow someone from the admin panels to type a
        freeform address, have the address geocoded on change and plotted
        on the map. If the location is not 100% correct, the user can
        drag the marker to the correct spot and the geo coordinates will 
        update.
        
        USAGE:
        ------
        - include the `django_google_maps` app in your `settings.py`
        - create a model that has both an address field and geolocation field
          <pre><code>
            from django.db import models
            from django_google_maps import fields as map_fields
            
            class Rental(models.Model):
                address = map_fields.AddressField(max_length=200)
                geolocation = map_fields.GeoLocationField(max_length=100)    
          </code></pre>
        - in the `admin.py` include the following as a formfield_override
          <pre><code>
              from django.contrib import admin
              from django_google_maps import widgets as map_widgets
              from django_google_maps import fields as map_fields
              
              class RentalAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
                  formfield_overrides = {
                      map_fields.AddressField: {'widget': map_widgets.GoogleMapsAddressWidget},    
                  }
          </code></pre>
          
        That should be all you need to get started. If you're not using Django 1.3
        make sure that the static media is in a location that will be found and
        properly served. The assumed location is `settings.STATIC_URL + 'django_google_maps/js/google-maps-admin.js',`
          
        I also like to make the geolocation field readonly in the admin so a user
        (myself) doesn't accidentally change it to a nonsensical value. There is
        validation on the field so you can't enter an incorrect value, but you could
        enter something that is not even close to the address you intended.
        
        When you're displaying the address back to the user, just request the map
        using the geocoordinates that were saved in your model. Maybe sometime when
        I get around to it I'll see if I can create a method that will build that
        into the model.
