Map with existing latitude/longitude

[bashu]

Have you considered adding the option to map based solely on the latitude/longitude?

The template tag would look something like

{% easy_map

| [ ] [] [using <template_name>] %}

The use case is for mapping points in the ocean so using reverse geocoding won't work.

Yes, that would be a useful feature, pull requests are welcome :)

Support for GeoDjango's PointFields would also be nice (it should be quite easy to implement by the way).

At the moment as a workaround you can create easy_maps.models.Address instance manually with the desired coordinates.

Mikhail, that would be great addition to the map, I'm also waiting on this feature ;) I'll try to use create an Address instance manually and insert the cords from GPS , see if ti works.

Thank you so much for your work on this!

Oh, excellent. I just encountered easy-map, and I also have the coordinates already. You just saved me creating my own pull request.
