Description (last modified by Lars Solberg)

My goal is to use a field that looks like this:

from django.contrib.gis.db import models

class FavoriteLocation(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    location = models.PointField()

as an extra field on a User. The field-type works on other models, so everything is setup correctly.

However, getting it as a inline is problematic because it doesnt render correctly in the admin.
The admin code looks like this:

from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
from django.contrib.gis import admin

class FavoriteLocationInline(admin.StackedInline):
    model = FavoriteLocation
    extra = 1

class CustomUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
    inlines = (FavoriteLocationInline,)

admin.site.unregister(User)
admin.site.register(User, CustomUserAdmin)

however, the widget for displaying the field looks blank (see screenshot).

In the doc, It sais I should use "admin.OSMGeoAdmin" for my admin class. However, that don't change anything.
Nor changing it to "class CustomUserAdmin(admin.OSMGeoAdmin, UserAdmin).

If I click add "another favorite location", I will also get a text-area field instead of the widget.

Trying to save the model with this broken widget gives me a "GDALException" (django.contrib.gis.gdal.error.GDALException: OGR failure.)
Note that this widget works on other admin-pages I have..

Also note that the broken widget is black because it is all zoomed in on 0, 0.. However, it also misses some elements in the upper right corner.
I am seeing no errors in the browser console.
