Use Google Latitude data as layer in OpenLayers?
Well, it can be your own web service that quires Latitude API, or you can call Google's API directly from the client since it's REST based On the OpenLayers side I would also prefer Vector layer as it's very flexible and seems to fulfill your requirements You will probably also want to create a timer(setTimeout()) that calls Latitude API every minute or so and updates user's positions.

And I'm thinking of Refresh Strategy for the update to keep to the OL standard. – Niklas Ringdahl Mar 28 at 14:45 No, unfortunately I didn't have chance to try it out, but I'm sure there should be example for this in documentation.Strategy. Refresh in OpenLayers is definitely the way to go!

Toward OpenLayers 3! We've begun the development effort to make the next major version of OpenLayers a reality. OpenLayers 3 is a comprehensive rewrite of the library, targeting the latest in HTML5 and CSS3 features.
The library will continue to have broad support for projections, standard protocols, and editing functionality from OpenLayers 2.x. The new version of the library will focus on performance improvements, lighter builds, prettier visual components, an improved API, and more. WebGL promises to bring 3D capabilities and increased performance for all mapping needs to the latest browsers.
OpenLayers 3.0 will offer WebGL, while degrading nicely in less capable browsers. Cesium: The OpenLayers community will also integrate the new Cesium library to enable full 3D spinning globe capabilities directly into the 3.0 release. Closure Compiler: By utilizing the Closure Compiler, applications developers will be able to create smaller and faster libraries, easing the use of the extensive OpenLayers 3.0 toolkit.
A new codebase: This offers an opportunity to clean up some of the “clunky” ways of doing things in OpenLayers. The team will also create with new API designs, which will be more accessible to all. High-quality documentation: The new release will also feature documentation with fresh examples and default designs in OpenLayers 3.0.
Making a toolkit standout is about more than the actual code. If you’ve used OpenLayers in the past, if you’re using it in production deployments, or if you may use it in the future, please consider contributing to our collaborative funding effort. We are aiming to raise $350,000, to fully fund OpenLayers 3.0 in one shot.
Contributing right now is the most effective time to help OpenLayers. Kickstarter-style campaign is running at http://www.indiegogo.com/ol3, read our blog post to know more about it. $5,000: Your organization’s logo will appear on the OpenLayers 3.0 Thank You page.
$25,000: A 1 year OpenLayers support package with two named users. $40,000: Logo and link will appear on the OpenLayers homepage as a "Sustaining Sponsor", as well as at the top of the OpenLayers 3.0 Thank You page. $75,000: A 1 year OpenLayers enterprise support package, with up to 8 named users, and "Sustaining Sponsor" logos and credits.
These packages will be delivered by companies employing OpenLayers committers. For more information please email ol3-funding at googlegroups.com. Modern web browsers, with no server-side dependencies.
Releases are made available on the downloads page. With a clone of the Git repository, you can keep up with the latest and contribute patches to OpenLayers. Still try some of the hosted examples.
Of the examples to get an idea how the OpenLayers library is used.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
