[Mapserver-users] GPS Point data output in MapServer

[Lowell Filak]

Being that your GPS data is already being incorporated into a database
the issue becomes dynamically generating points on a map based on the
database information.
This type of issue comes up frequently and a query of the archives and
wiki should produce at least a few results that should be helpful.
