Image Maps + Django

[+Emmanuel]

I am intending to implement something similar to this: https://opendata.go.ke/facet/counties

That has been developed in Ruby on Rails. How does Django handle image maps? Are there any additional Python/ Django libraries I will require? Is there a specific approach (best practices) way of solving this?

Thanks.

Read the documentation on GeoDjango, it's all there....

@Nigel,

If I understand it well, GeoDjango seems to be for a more robust GIS application that utilizes Google Maps. In contrast, I want to use a simple image map with no Google Maps. Thanks

GeoDjango uses ESRI shape files in the example in the Djang documentation, not Google maps?? (I don't want to use google maps either). To me it looks ideal for your purpose

As an image map is simply HTML interpreted on the client side, Django
doesn't handle any image map, the browser does. Use any tool you like
to generate the image map polygons.
