Abstract

A map and a marker corresponding to an object of interest are displayed via a user interface of a user apparatus. The marker is displayed on the map at a current marker position. Location data is received by the user apparatus, the location data comprises an instance of location data corresponding to the object. A way point is added to a way point array corresponding to the object based on the location data. Latitude and longitude steps are determined based on (a) the current marker position, (b) a first way point of the way point array, and (c) an adjustment factor. The current marker position is updated and the marker is rendered on the map at the updated current marker position in accordance with the frames per second rate for animating the movement of the marker on the map to smoothly animate the near-real time movement of the object.
