We exclude the geoposition field from the model form and instead render the latitude and longitude fields for the geoposition data. The default geoposition's PointField is rendered as a Leaflet.js map with no possibilities to customize it. With the two latitude and longitude fields, we are flexible and can make use of the Google Maps API, Bing Maps API, or Leaflet.js to show them in a map, enter manually, or geocode them from the filled-in location address.

For convenience, we use two helper methods, get_geoposition() and set_geoposition(), which we defined earlier in the Using HTML5 data attributes recipe.
