[OpenMap Users] Openmap project details

 Hi ,
 I want to use openmap to track the movements of a gps device .the way i
intend to do this is by loading a gif image of the area where the gps
device will be used .and then have a icon move on top of it based on the
position of the gps device on land. the lat/llon would be obtained from
a server .
the data obtained from the server would be calculated to x and y coord on
the map and the icon would be moved accordingly.
I would need several layers ,so that i can track the movement of various
gps devices.

 Presently i am trying to load a gif image for starters. I am having
trouble doing this .I was suggested to make changes in the
openmap.properties file to load the image .but when i tried to do this i
get error message and nothing is displayed on the openmap .

Help and comments are requested

The following is the entry in the openmap.properties file
openmap.layers=myimage
myimage.class=com.bbn.openmap.plugin.CSVTiledImagePlugin
myimage.prettyName=map
# URL of the data file
#//myimage.tileFile=///store/openmap-4.5.4/sandiego.csv
myimage.tileFile=file:///store/openmap-4.5.4/sandiego.csv
# If the csv file has descriptive header line that should not be used
for images. (default = true)
myImage.fileHasHeader=true

the following is the error that is received when i run the program
*** ERROR ***
LayerHandler: Skipped "test" - unable to create
*************

*** ERROR ***
LayerHandler.getLayers(): Failed to locate property "map.class"
  Skipping layer "map"
*************

thanks in advance
jay
