guys! I have follow question.

I am writing an application that will track movement of user + other options. I plan to use Google maps for this. I assume to send in some way gps coordinates to the google maps server. The question is do I need to be always re-initialize and load the map.

It would be nice to do it without restarting. Because this application is mobile I would like to avoid a lot of traffic and have a quick response.

What are you trying to accomplish with this app? From your question

do I need to be always re-initialize and load the map

it seems you're thinking about accessing the Google Maps website directly. The ideal way to write an application would be to use the Google Maps APIs. It also depends if you're developing your application to Android, iOS or a completely different beast. For Android you can take a look here. To avoid a lot of traffic, you can build a backend that your mobile app would talk to.
