GPS and edgeBrowser

[techdesk 1]

I have decided to use EdgeBrowser to display the GPS location.
If I for example type in a gps location using google maps, I can see the pin exactly. But I want to build a sort of tracker using delphi and EdgeBrowser. The common Delphi TBWebBrowser is outdated and does not work. My idea is that I get the GPS dynamically via my serial port. I need to dynamically display the map in my browser. I can do that but the problem I am facing is that every new GPS that comes in "refreshes" the web page. That is very annoying and difficult on the eye. Anyone knows how to update/refresh the webpage without this nuisance?

It might help to show the code you're using to do this.

Here is the code:
procedure TForm1.FormActivate(Sender: TObject);
begin
URL:= 'http://localhost/customapi.html?lat=-33.92014638020544&lon=25.529902190019857&zoom=18&pinLat=-33.92014638020544&pinLon=25.529902190019857';
EdgeBrowser1.Navigate(URL);
end;
I have simplified for ease of understanding by placing a static GPS 
This works well
But when I change the GPS dynamically in the URL, it flashes due to "refreshing"

Unless you use the Google Maps (JavaScript) API, I think you may need to live with the fact that the page "flashes".

Look at the sample for Magenta GPS and Location Component at  https://www.magsys.co.uk/delphi/maghardware.asp

 

It uses Google Maps API JavaScript to display blobs on an embedded Edge browser window.
