Hey guys,

I have a cellular phone which runs a program that uses GPS services. I want to be able to show the phone's current live location on a website. I have a VPS at my disposal. I'm using Waze's Map Services as my map (waze.co.il). I'm familiar with network protocols and client side / forms development but not very familiar with website development (JS and AJAX, I'm guessing). I have a python server that runs on my VPS and accepts and handles all HTTP requests. Potentially, I can send the coordinates in a post request from the mobile phone every 10 seconds. When the coordinates are received on the server, the python server can edit the html file that contains the map to include the most updated location. Obviously, this is not a desirable solution since the user would have to refresh the webpage in order to see the updated location, where as I would like it to be updated and refreshed automatically on the map..

Thanks for your time!
