How to I make a marker that moves?

[Paul Bono]

I am trying to track a car that outputs GPS coordinates to me.  I have no issue grabbing the coordinates but I do have trouble getting the marker to move from its initial state.  I've looked online and could only find examples for marker movement in the v2 JavaScript API.  I however would like to use v3.5 or higher.  I'd also like to refrain from using any3rd party scripts.

So I need help displaying a marker and then having the marker move with the v3 Javascript API.

I currently have something like this (the variables are defined globally):

function updateMarker(){
    car = getPos(1);
    carLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(carLatitude, carLongitude);
    carmarker = new google.maps.Marker({
        position: carLatlng,
    });
    setTimeout(updateMarker(), 3000);
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!!
