I have hacked a bit on this and I have used google maps to get long and latitude. I do not feel this is code we should merge for LD yet. Consider this proof of concept. https://code.launchpad.net/~effie-jayx/loco-directory/long-lat-picker-google-maps . I am willing to elaborate more, like having the pick set city and country acording to long and lat but first we should further discuss:
* is google maps what we are using for our maps? learning the apis and doing this would mean duplication of efforts if someine else isworking with other maps.
* Apart from the schema change, should this be picked up, forms for new venues would have to be more flexible than modelforms to be able to better place the map.
* general cleanup of the map imports, currently there are imports for maps in many places. can we discuss where the maps apis of google are needed?
