Nowadays maps often come in digital form, but still are mostly used to display static content. By adding a time component, a map can be used to display mobile objects like car, people or measurements. In this thesis, design science approach is used to implement a near real-time geographic information system for displaying mobile measurements. Open Geospatial Consortium standards and third party software components are utilized in the design. In addition, software component selection process appropriate for the scale of the project is developed. Open Geospatial Consortium standards were found to be adequate for use in the system. It was noted that attention is needed when choosing between the partially overlapping standards. The software component selection process was found to be successful. Comparison of non-functional aspects of commercial and open source components was found challenging.
