Need a bit more info than that for anyone to help you.

Please tell us exactly what information you have, what you are trying to achieve, and where you are getting stuck.

i have made a geodjango project, and my intension is to make a map application that will will plot points on a map. the points are to be made by using gps coordinates that i that i have in a kml file. so what i did is convert the kml file into shapefile and auto generated the model by using ogrinspect. the pasted the models produced in the models.py file hoping that those points wil be show on the map when opening http://localhost:8000 but it seems the ogrinspect does not even create a field for coordinates on the models. not sure thats because the kml file was not converted correctly or not cos i converted it using an online tool from hear http://www.zonums.com/online/kml2shp.php.

so my intentions is just to plot points on a map with geodjango to show area coverage of a particular location.

How that is clear now

Open your models in the admin. Fwiw, Geodjango uses overlays on externally hosted basemaps using openlayers API.
Rendering maps natively is not supported, as far as I can tell. One a would use mapserver for that.
