  • 0

I am implementing a map application for my new job using Django. What it’s supposed to do is, after a user fills out a form, it plots that point on the map. I’ve read some on-line tutorials, and some of them mentioned KML. I am new to both Javascript and Django.

Here’s my question:

  • What is KML used for in this scenario, is it even necessary?
  • How do I access the information stored in the database with Javascript?

    • I think that will at least get me started.

      KML is just “array” of graphic objects (and their attributes) that you
      want to show on the map. It is very easy to use it because google maps
      API knows how to parse it.

      You don’t acces database stored data with javascript. Usually you
      request it from web server, that communicates with database
      (javascript send’s request to some link and receives response).

      Above are just some basics (not django specific) that you have to learn.
