Making geolocation read only returns world map about django-google-maps

[madisona]

That's because when you declare a readonly field like that, django makes it not a real form field and the location never gets saved. I do it like this in the admin:

formfield_overrides = {
map_fields.GeoLocationField: {'widget': widgets.TextInput(attrs={'readonly': 'readonly'})},
}

This forces the html to be readonly, but the form data still stays and gets posted.

I apologize for the slow reply, I was on vacation.

What does map_fields.GeoLocationField actually is?
