title: django, google maps integration
body: <p>I'm in need of integrating a django application with a visually intuitive google-maps interface, for the purpose of radio dispatched security guards/emt's.  </p>
  
  <p>I'm already using GeoDjango, although it appears it may be a bit overkill for the specific use.  At any rate it's already making the geospatial processing on the server as easy as I need it to be. </p>
  
  <p>But my javascript is weak enough without having to build an ajax rpc layer on my own.  are there any tools or techniques that can help this?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> To clarify, i'm not asking about how to use google maps api.  as <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/568151/django-google-maps-integration/568699#568699">this post</a> explains, google gives good documentation, and there are many examples on the web, from <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?exp=maps" rel="nofollow noreferrer">google</a> or <a href="http://koti.mbnet.fi/ojalesa/exam/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">otherwise</a>, that explains how to use the api, stand-alone.  Django has good documentation too.  </p>
  
  <p>It's using them together that's slowing me down.</p>
