[mapserver-users] upload/stream data from GPS unit?

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Bill,

There are probably many solutions available depending on the various 
technical components that you might have in the solution. One possible 
solution might be something along these lines:

1) stream data to some service that you probably have to build
2) have said service load the points into a postgres/postgis database
3) create a mapfile with a LAYER to disply the data from postgis
4) Use a client like OpenLayers to render you map from mapserver
5) add a timer event to refresh your map every X secs
