Fly to / Geo search feature [1 day]

[perrygeo]

In addition to implementing a geocoder lookup, we should also support:

• Assessor's Parcel numbers
• GPS coordinates
• Streams/watersheds
• search of local postgis tables

Need to do some user testing to see what, if anything is needed beyond a simple geocode.

The client-side of the search will auto-complete for property/stand names

The server side will:

• Try to parse coordinates
• Try to parse APN
• Look up placenames
• Geocode

Return format? Some simple json should do:

{ 
  'status': ok, 
  'type': 'geocoded', 
  'extent': [123,456,789,1011]
}

[perrygeo]

Server side is ready to rock and roll

/trees/geosearch?search=blah

will return some json like above.

Handing the ticket over to Edwin for the client side integration.

Wonder if we could use this fanciness : https://github.com/crucialfelix/django-ajax-selects

For now, we need to test in the real world and fix according to feedback. Right now, the searching for geographic features is pretty lame.
