Add Google projection to ``spatial_ref_sys`` table
--------------------------------------------------

.. note::

    If you're running GDAL 1.7 or above (most users), you can skip this step.

In order to conduct database transformations to the so-called "Google"
projection (a spherical mercator projection used by Google Maps),
an entry must be added to your spatial database's ``spatial_ref_sys`` table.
Invoke the Django shell from your project and execute the
``add_srs_entry`` function:

.. code-block:: pycon

    $ python manage.py shell
    >>> from django.contrib.gis.utils import add_srs_entry
    >>> add_srs_entry(900913)

This adds an entry for the 900913 SRID to the ``spatial_ref_sys`` (or equivalent)
table, making it possible for the spatial database to transform coordinates in
this projection.  You only need to execute this command *once* per spatial database.
