Learn Geographic Information Systems with geodjango

🌐 Dive into the World of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with GeoDjango!

🚀 Course Title: Learn Geographic Information Systems with geodjangocourse headline: Master location-based applications like Swarm, Foursquare, or Tinder.

🎉 What You'll Learn:

Understanding PointField and PolygonField

• 🌍 What is a PointField? It's the data type used to store coordinates (latitude and longitude) of users, like when you check in using an app.
• 📍 What is a PolygonField? This data type plots specific areas, such as cities or land parcels, on a map.

🔍 Real-world Applications:

• Swarm suggests places of interest based on your current location, saving your latitude and longitude in a PointField.
  • Example: Checking in at Burger King with nearby suggestions like Starbucks.
• Tinder uses PolygonField to find users within specific distances, ensuring you don't see profiles from too far away, like Germany if you're in Turkey.

🛠️ Practical Skills:

• Learn to create filters that list users or locations from the closest to the most distant within a chosen kilometer range.
• Discover how to calculate distance between users using km's or miles.

🎉 Develop Your Own Location-based Apps:

• Create an app to "Find My Friends" on a map.
• Develop an app for vehicle tracking for rental car businesses.
• Design real estate apps that display property locations on Google Maps with additional details.
