Flight Watch using Google Maps

Using existing data in a MySQL database, the successful coder will use PHP, XML and AJAX to display custom markers on a google map and display info windows with five pieces of data also gathered from the database.

All data? in the database is timestamped and only the most recent is used.? I have wasted far too much time trying to figure it our myself.

## Deliverables

1) Create a google map centered on the North American continent with small zoom controls and satelitte image.? Query a MySQL database, name to be provided, table positions by "last_update" field (last five minutes) for the fields "IATA", "gs", "alt", "depAptICAO", "destAptICAO", "lat" and "lon".

2) Using returned data and AJAX, which I am told is the best way to go for this project, create the necessary code to display a maker of aircraft shape at the "lat", "lon" provided from the database.

3) Provide coding to display info marker? for each point that would display on first line, "IATA", second line "depAptICAO" and "destAptICAO", Third line "gs" in kts and finally "alt" on the last line.
