Plotting GPS coordinates on a map

[IAmCoder]

I made a simple GPS tracking app that draws a line to the current location and moves a marker each time the location changes.

cordova.exec(
    function SuccessHandler (result) {
 
        // Center the map
        me.getComponent('map').setMapCenter({ atitude: result.latitude, longitude: result.longitude});
 
        if (MyApp.app.LastLatitude !== null && MyApp.app.LastLatitude !== '')
        {
            // Add a line to the map
            var flightPlanCoordinates = [
                new google.maps.LatLng(MyApp.app.LastLatitude, MyApp.app.LastLongitude),
                new google.maps.LatLng(result.latitude, result.longitude)
            ];
            var flightPath = new google.maps.Polyline({
                path: flightPlanCoordinates,
                strokeColor: "#4682b4",
                strokeOpacity: 0.8,
                strokeWeight: 2
            });
            flightPath.setMap(me.getComponent('map').getMap());
 
            // Remove the old marker
            MyApp.app.Marker.setMap(null);
        }
 
        // Add a new marker
        var position = new google.maps.LatLng (result.latitude, result.longitude);
        MyApp.app.Marker = new google.maps.Marker({
            position: position,
            title: result.latitude + ', ' + result.longitude,
            icon: 'http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/icons/blue-dot.png',
            map: me.getComponent('map').getMap()
        });
        MyApp.app.Marker.setMap(me.getComponent('map').getMap());
 
        MyApp.app.LastLatitude = result.latitude;
        MyApp.app.LastLongitude = result.longitude;
 
        },
    function ErrorHandler (error) {
        alert("Native call failed: " + error);
    },
    'BTekGPSPlugin', '', []);
}, this);

The source is on GitHub and the calls that get the coordinates from native code are detailed here: http://www.btek.com.au/tracking-move...ative-process/. I used a custom GPS class because the coordinates will need to be pre-processed by existing business logic.
