Hello,
I am privileged to be among the speakers at this year's python conference and the title of my talk is "Using Python for GIS and Remote Sensing Operations".
As I Geo aware individual, I was impressed with the organizers especially the guy behind the conference Venue page.
He did not only added geospatial technology on the page, but he also encouraged users to make use of the tool to make there live easier while locating the conference venue.
The web page is based on python Django web framework (Pinax/Symposion) and on these bases of python & GIS relationships, I decided to write this blog post.
What I did on the Venue Page
On the page there is a "Get Direction" tool, so i used it to get the direction from Abuja where I am coming from.
There and then I have a quick idea of where am going to and how long it will take me to reach there by road or air as seen above.
I also get the direction of my hotel (Presken Hotel) location to the venue and I observed there are two location of the hotel having similar name. However, based on the address provided I realized the correct on is with the name "Presken Hotel (Awolowo way)" and it is about 2km (5min drive) from the venue.
Thank God for Google map, everyone can at least do or interact with GIS without installing any heavy software.
