Move the marker about leaflet.animatedmarker HOT 6 CLOSED

I would look at some GPX plugins and see if they support playback, then write some stuff to make sure that the marker always is located at/between the right coordinates.

What format is your GPS data in GPX? GeoJSON?
Is you using a (Live)API?

Edit:
Another solution would be to split the path. Location 1/2 loads first and at the end of the line the marker disappears. Then a new path between location 2/3 loads, at the end of the line the marker disappears and the location 3/4 loads and so on...

hi,

I am feeding GPS data (lat,lon) to the leaflet js. I was trying to get the marker to move as and when the co-ordinates change. I have a javascript timer which looks for updated gps co-ordinates and if there is a change in the older and current values, then it needs to move the marker to the new location / co-ordinates. "setLatLng" might be a way but perhaps it would have the smooth animation that animatedmarker has/does ".)

Cheers,
M&M

Add coordinates to the array with AJAX? I'm not 100 sure that it will work at all. I think that the marker will restart each time...

hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. I did think about adding the polyline in parts...like a-b,b-c,c-d then based on location use the start/stop method. Somehow it didn't seem elegant so I hesitated. I think I'll give that a try and see how it goes. ".)

It would have been just nice if the animated marker had some move, or moveTo method. So you can just start off with a certain co-ordinate...and then that changes you just call the animatedMarker.moveto(x,y) :-D

Leaflet supports adding points with AJAX(Bjørn Sandvik has been working with this solution).

What you could do is that when you adding a new point you drag a line from the last one to the new one. This would animate a line, but not a icon(that would work but look bad). This requires that you loads new coordinates very often...

Okie thanks Abbe for the pointer. I'll check it out
