[mapguide-users] Displaying points of given GPS coordinates

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

If you wish to display points on a map from a database, it is easier to 
just create an ODBC data source,
set up column mappings for x/y, and then use that as base for the layer.

As for creating dynamic stuff, take a look at the "Generic Tasks" example:
https://mapguide.osgeo.org/livegallery.html
http://data.mapguide.com/mapguide/gt/index.php

It shows how to create an SDF datasource and the FeatureSource and 
LayerDefinition, and how to attach it to the map.
You can use that knowledge to produce custom temporary lines.
