<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello all, I'm interested in using OpenLayers for a project, and the basic requirement is fairly straightforward - an interactive world map running in a web browser showing moving symbols whose locations are given and updated by an outside service.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm fairly new to a lot of the terminology involved here - from what I have read thus far, it looks like I might want to do this with a WFS server - each symbol we want to show becomes a "feature" that can move when the service "updates" it.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Am I on the right track here? Is OpenLayers a good tool for this? If it is, I'm interested in learning how to set up such an application. Otherwise any suggestions on a better tool for the job would be greatly appreciated.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks!</FONT>
