Hi there,
I have a Python application which connects to a SQL database. This allows the user to enter data via a form.
They want to be able to add a point geometry onto a map related for the currently edited feature.
I have a Geometry field added to the SQL database but I am trying to figure out if I can include a mapping component which allows the user to enter a point, and even better show their GPS location if they are using this out in the field. Down the track I'd have the map embedded into the frame.
I have tried a few things but I can't seem to figure out where to start. All examples seem to deal with loading existing data into a map.
If there is a possibility for this to work are there any resources you can suggest I look into?
Open Street Maps with aerial imagery would be ideal.
Regards
