#11999: Support for Google Maps encoded geometries -------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: rcoup | Owner: nobody Status: new | Milestone: Component: GIS | Version: Keywords: gmaps | Stage: Unreviewed Has_patch: 0 | -------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- When displaying polygons and polylines with GMaps, performance can be massively improved by using encoded geometries. It would be great for GeoDjango to support this: * a module to encode geometries and return a dictionary, so people can JSON-encode and send to the client, embed in templates, etc. * use encoded geometries in !GoogleGeoAdmin
