Geolocation/Geocoordinates Map plugin?

[rjcorwin]

Has anyone heard of a plugin for Backbone-Forms that allows would render a field as a map that you can select geocoordinates on? In particular I have a need to allow folks to select areas on a map (fields on farms).

The way I do this is have a long, lat and zoom set up as hidden fields.

Then using googles api

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/event-simple

schema extract

longitude : {
  type: 'Hidden'
},
latitude : {
  type: 'Hidden'
},
zoom : {
  type: 'Hidden'
 }

and processing code

      form.getEditor("latitude").setValue(myMarker.getPosition().lat());
      form.getEditor("longitude").setValue(myMarker.getPosition().lng());
      form.getEditor("zoom").setValue(map.getZoom());

      form.trigger("lnglat:change") 

This seems to work pretty well for me. You could extend this to allow an array and set the value to be an array of ordered coorniate pairs for area shapes too

@rjsteinert I have developed a custom editor to manage a bounding box field. It uses leafletjs with two plugins (Draw and Pan). I have taken the date field editor as a example.

Here you have a gist with the code: https://gist.github.com/bielfrontera/de36b1f510000ccbaf48

@bielfrontera Cool :). That would be cool to see as a bower package.
