[OpenLayers-Users] how to update POIs or markers on open street maps without refreshing the whole map

[helmi]

Refer this http://openlayers.org/pipermail/users/2009-June/012274.html

My example code:

function setLonLat(marker, lonlat) {
    var newPx = map.getLayerPxFromLonLat(newLonLat);
    marker.moveTo(newPx);
}

var marker = new OpenLayers.Marker(new OpenLayers.LonLat(102.2168, 3.09185),
new OpenLayers.Icon());

var markers = new OpenLayers.Layer.Markers( "Markers" );
markers.addMarker(marker);
map.addLayer(markers);

// To move the marker
var newLonLat = new OpenLayers.LonLat(102.1399, 5.72857);
setLonLat(marker, newLonLat);

>> I mean I wanted to build an apoplication that uploads my current position
like every 5 mins or so, is this the best way to do it?
