[osg-users] questions about developing drivers for osg/osgEarth

You're still describing what you're trying to to do solve the problem, but
not what the problem is.
Your solution seems to involve a traveling dynamic piece of geospatial
data. But generally, geospatial data is not traveling or dynamic. So,
you're possibly fighting limitations in the design of the subsystem you are
choosing to use.
Moving markers are typically represented with other osgEarth entities like
symbology, which are suited to being dynamically updated. Can you describe
what the data displayed really represents and how it is supposed to appear
in the final result?
Is this a vehicle position marker? Is it a dynamic sensor feed from a UAV
painted onto the terrain? Knowing what you're actually trying to accomplish
gives us a much better chance of suggesting a successful solution than
trying to guess what you want based upon your description of how you tried
to solve it.
