color=#0000ff size=2>Yes, it would work well. As part of your system, you
will be feeding a database with point information (historic and current) about
vehicle locations. You would define some queries in that database to
extract only the latest time-based position. Then, in MGOS, you would
point your layer definition(s) to these queries where the symbols would be drawn
directly from the x,y data in the database using the FDO ODBC data
provider. A little programming using the MGOS API would be necessary to
refresh the layers at the desired time interval, be it every 10 seconds or every
5 minutes or whatever. If the latest point data has changed since the last
refresh, then the vehicle symbols will shift accordingly. Or, you might be
able to write a trigger that would call a stored procedure if new point data is
added and then force a refresh from the server-side.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

app?<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm currently evaluating web based mapping software for an AVL system.
Could somebody let me know if Mapguide OS is a suitable dev platform to develop
a web based Vehicle tracking system. Is it possible to dynamically plot
coordinates on the MapGuide OS platoform. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thx</DIV>
