Google Maps Location and Area Fields for Django

I am looking for two Django model fields that are easy to use in admin and gives a Google maps interactive interface.

LocationField

Stores longitude and latitude, admin user clicks on a map to mark the location.

AreaField

Stores a comma separated string of locations, admin user creates a shape on a map to mark an area.

I found a number of them but which one would you recommend for the above requirements?

• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-easy-maps
• http://code.google.com/p/django-gmapi/
• http://code.google.com/p/django-co开发者_C百科ordinatesfield/

There is of course also geodjango but it seems a bit overkill for this project.

I know this post is old but in case anyone needs another tool, i've been using the django-geoposition app that helps to create a model field that can hold a geoposition and a corresponding admin widget.

We have been using django-easy-maps but with a custom (non-admin) interface. If Google can't find the location from the street address, we present a navigable map and allow the user to select a position, then store the latitude and longitude. Otherwise, there is likely to be too many street addresses that the Google maps can't parse.
