In this article, I'll show you some sample code which store geopoint data by just clicking on Google Map. Before we go, perhaps you can read the djangoforms documentation. This will help you to understand the codes in this article.
Please create a directory for this article, copy my_geopt.py to the directory and create 3 brand new files app.yaml, main.py, and index.html. That's all.
After creating these files, start local dev server, get access to localhost, and see that you can specify a particular GeoPt by just clicking on the Google Map.
And here is a live demo(slightly more complicated, but basically almost the same).
Happy coding :-)
