I really thought this would be an easy thing to do...

I've built an app, and one of the things it does is show my current
position on the little google map on the phone. I walk around it and
it shows my speed, direction and position just fine.

Now what I want to do is show my tracks. I don't want to loose any of
the dots showing where I was -- I want it paint a trail of everywhere
I go. Simple, no?

I think my problem is I don't really understand overlays. Can I re-use
an overlay? That was my first instinct...rather than clear all the old
overlays on the mapview, make a new one, stick a dot on it and place
it in the mapview I wanted to grab the current overlay and *add" a new
dot to it and put it back on the mapview. But I can seem to get that
to work. Just out of curiosity I even try not clearing the old
overlays and just adding new ones...that took about two minutes the
bring the phone to its knees.

Anybody have any ideas? A direction I can be pointed in? I know this
can be done, but I've spent a week searching with no joy.
