[Geomoose-users] refresh layer

[Brent Fraser]

Hello GeoMoosers,

I might be interested in a GeoMoose Refresh Layer as well.

I've been doing a little experimenting with phone tracking app:
     https://www.websmithing.com/gps-tracker/

, a tracking system composed of:
     - a smart phone ( android,windows,ios,etc) position (and other 
values) reporting app
     - a little server-side PHP code for receiving (and reporting) the 
positions
     - a database (currently SQL Server or MySQL, with Postgres and 
SQLite to come) to store the data
     - some Leaflet-based Javascript for display

And while I could render an image of the positions directly from the 
database using mapserver (and ogr), I was thinking that a geojson (or 
WFS-T?) feed might be a better solution.  It might lead to something like:

https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox.js/example/v1.0.0/rotating-controlling-marker/

within GeoMoose.

Thoughts?

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
