Web2py web mapping capabilities

[Farzin Ashouri]

Hi all,

I've just switched from Django to web2py but I want to know about web2py web mapping capabilities, can I make custom maps and applications by web2py? is there any specific tools or modules (like geoDjango in Djjango project) to support web mapping services and to visualize maps?

Thanks

Some of the geoDjango equivalent equivalent features are built in into web2py:

For plotting maps we user google maps (look into generic.map also built-in web2py).

You could also use d3.js with web2py, using geojson and topojson for display. See d3js.org
