Request: Option to refresh data sets on a map
« on: March 17, 2014, 01:47:11 PM »
Hi Bruce,

Can we have an option to refresh a dataset on a map, either from a button on the form, or to have it auto refresh on a timer?
The use case I am after is the lat\lon changing from the user on a mobile device in the field, and the office staff being able to see the position change without reloading the map tiles.

Thanks

Debra

This is almost solved with this code.
Only problem is clustered markers.
Any ideas ?

 
      Relate:Accident.open
      clear(Acc:record)
      set(Acc:GuidKey,Acc:GuidKey)
      loop
            next(Accident)
            if error()
               break
            .
            Acc:Latitude=Acc:Latitude-0.001
            put(Accident)

  !Here start the code  that moves markers
            marker"=p_web.AddBrowseValue('AccidentsMap','Accident',Acc:GuidKey)
            p_web.Script('$("#' & p_web._jsok(p_web.nocolon('AccidentsMap')) & '").ntmap("updateMarker","'&clip(marker")&'",'&p_web.GetLatLng(Acc:Latitude)&','&p_web.GetLatLng(Acc:Longitude)&','&p_web.WrapOptions(loc:options)&');')
      .

There is option: Disable clustering at zoom.
When this is set to 1 markers are not clustered and now they can move
