How to have a Python Django map with a satellite view using from django.contrib.gis.db import models?

Question

I know python and I know a bit of Django. Lately I have been trying to upgrade my maps that I use in my app to a satellite view. Right on my map I am able to draw multiple polygons and save it to the database (postGres).

I am using the following to draw the map:

from django.contrib.gis.db import models
myMap = models.MultiPolygonField(verbose_name="Boundaries Map", null=True, blank=True, srid=4326)

The only thing I wanted to do is instead of having the map View have a Satellite view. Does anyone know any way of doing it?

So after a lot of search I found this Solution: Check this tutorial http://mattmakesmaps.com/blog/2013/05/01/django-add-mapquest-tiles/

So this is the foundation for what I had to do, after that you need to find tiles for your map that actually work. I opted to use ESRI map tiles.
