Wanted to give you some of the solutions I'm considering for the backend server , since its not all that different from what you are trying to do.
The native app uses mapkit to display maps of servers and photo locations to the user. But there's also a website that displays all discovered devices, and for this I need each device to send its position to the map. I'm looking at the following technologies. These are listed in order of preference. 1) Java/icefaces - www.icefaces.org They have a real nice google mapping component with a lot of functionality and since I'm already using icefaces components on the website its a logical option. 2) GWT - again some nice google mapping options. (natually, google web toolkit would work well with google) 3) simile/EXHIBIT - this is a mit project that provides liitle javascript widgets for deployment on a webpage, java. php, html supported. 4) Plain old javascript with googleMaps.
