Animating bitmaps on openmap

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to setup a simple experiment using Openmap. Imagine a scenario
where you are using Openmap to track a GPS receiver, say in someone's car or
in an airplane. My first step is to simply display a bitmap. I already
have a Windows bitmap; i.e. bmp file, that I would like to use. I noticed
some JPEG helpers in the API but nothing explicity stating bitmap or bmp.
Seems to me this code would make up a "layer" and that somebody else must
have done this already.

Next question is how do you animate it moving on the map? Most of the
examples I have seen have been with "static" data. From an object
orientated sense I have a couple of different objects that all know their
current location and they need to draw themselves. I guess my question is
what is the trigger that would model an icon/bitmap slowly or quickly moving
along a road on a digital map? Any code fragments or examples out there?

Thanks,

John
