<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Am still not particularly proficient with MapServer to
help with the "how" -- instead, I'm curious about the "how near" real
time. Within 10 seconds or 10 minutes? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Also, how much data? if it is just x,y,z
info could you have the machine that's reading the GPS append points to a
(say) ShapeFile, and send the whole thing? This would work if your
ShapeFile held the last couple of hundred points; Then it might be
possible to display those points + another layer that would have an accumulation
of the points, and a process on the server that would append the newest points
to the accumulated file.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'll confess to being more than a little curious about
what you are doing...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Thanks Steve. I am clear about the mapping part. I am not so sure about
streaming/uploading near-real-time GPS data from on-site to webserver across
WPA?</DIV>
<DIV>Cheers, Bill<BR></DIV>
