Urgent!! <Map> tag with latitude longitude coordinates

Hi
I am a novice using the <maptag. I have a question. I would really
appreciate if you could answer me.
I want to use the <maptag to dynamically update my map with
coordinates. These coordinates are in the form of geographic
coordinates (latitude, longitude). Can this be achieved ? How ? Please
help.

Regards

Tags don't do things. Tags are data.

Try explaining what you are really trying to accomplish, and illustrate it
with the URL of a sketch page.

The answer is most probably outside the scope of HTML, since HTML has
effectively no dynamics and it surely cannot change a map (an image), but
I'd like to see the real question before saying anything more specific.

It's not clear from "dynamicall y update my map with coordinates" what
you are trying to do or where the coordinates are coming from.

I want to have a <mapdisplay an image of a country, say USA. This map
will show the location of the most recent earthquakes. I have a live
earthquake monitoring station that spits out the lat, long coordinates
the moment an earthquake occurs. I want to update the map with the new
location. Can this be done?

Yes you can do this, but you need to use a programming language which
would convert the latitude and longitude co-ordinates into pixel
co-ordinates (which would marry up with your map of the USA). The
co-ordinates would need to be stored in a database (in either format)
and then when the page is requested, the database interrogated and
details incorporated in the served page.

You could write this in various languages, but probably perl or php are
the easiest - it all depends on your experience.

If you search on google, you can probably find a routine for converting
latitude and longitude to pixel co-ordinates in whatever programming
language you wish to use.

If you cannot handle programming yourself, you would need to pay
someone to do this, as it is not as straightforward as I think you were
hoping.

Thanx for the help. I guess I will give it a try using asp.net.

I looked through the docs and contrib, but didn't see anything related to storing and using latitude and longitude values. I have data in the form of 12° 34' N, 12° 34' W. Would any of the geometric data types work well for this type of data? Or just convert them to decimals? Are there any functions for converting lat/long to/from decimals/DDMMSS NSEW?

I am not sure if this is the right place for this, but I thought it was worth a shot. What I want: Enter a From: street address and a To: street address, and then specify an interval (say every half mile). Then, I click a submit button, and it gives me latitude and longitude points (in order) from the beginning of my trip to the end of my trip in 1/2 mile increments.
