Use Google Latitude data as layer in OpenLayers -


I have created a map application on the open layer, which displays a betamap and separate transmission sites The personnel have to maintain. When an error occurs to be able to send the nearest technical expert to a site, we want to track them and display their latest status on the map.

We've just started using Google Latitude and as expected it works in the Latitude app, but what's the best way to use this data as a separate layer in Open Layers? is? To display all users to connect on the same map?

I am thinking of a vector layer with a geo-geo service that queries the latitude API, but any thoughts or ideas are welcome.

Well, this could be your own web service that looks for the latitude API , Or you can call Google's API directly to the customer because I also like the vector layer because it is very flexible and meets your needs.

You may have a timer (setTimeout) that calls the Latitude API every minute or so and updates the user's posts
