    This is the default widget used by all GeoDjango form fields.
    ``template_name`` is ``gis/openlayers.html``.

    ``OpenLayersWidget`` and :class:`OSMWidget` use the ``openlayers.js`` file
    hosted on the ``openlayers.org`` Web site. This works for basic usage
    during development, but isn't appropropriate for a production deployment as
    ``openlayers.org/api/`` has no guaranteed uptime and runs on a slow server.
    You are therefore advised to subclass these widgets in order to specify
    your own version of the ``openlayers.js`` file in the ``js`` property of
    the inner ``Media`` class (see :ref:`assets-as-a-static-definition`). You
    can host a copy of ``openlayers.js``
    `tailored to your needs`_ on your own server or refer to a copy from a
    content-delivery network like http://cdnjs.com/. This will also allow
    you to serve the JavaScript file(s) using the ``https`` protocol if needed.
