Location not updating

[sinyb]

When I update attribute host.geolocation via REST API:
curl -k -s -S -i -u root:password -H 'Accept: application/json' -X POST https://localhost:5665/v1/objects/hosts/$MYHOST -d '{ "attrs": { "vars.geolocation": "12.34,67.89"}, "pretty": true }'

it is not automaticaly updated on the map, only after a refresh

Expected Behavior

Host should appear on new coordinates in some reasonable time, just as it's status is automaticaly updated if a status change happens (Up/Down/whatever)

Current Behavior

Currently, host moves to new coordinates only after page refresh.

Possible Solution

Either check location every time, or have some way to notify map module about change.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. open map showing host
2. update geolocation attribute via curl (see up)
3. host stays in the same place until refresh (F5)

Context

I am monitoring (besides other things like servers, routers, ...) a fleet of cars that have GPS reporting to the base every minute, so I'd like to show them on the map, together with their current Up/Down status (they are Up only when engine is running).

The map module uses the coordinates the backend provides. So my guess would be that the update is not deployed correctly.
