type (
	Geolocation struct {
		Altitude  float64
		Latitude  float64
		Longitude float64
	}
)

var (
	locations = []Geolocation{
		{-97, 37.819929, -122.478255},
		{1899, 39.096849, -120.032351},

func main() {
	e := echo.New()
	e.Get("/", func(c *echo.Context) error {
		c.Response().Header().Set(echo.ContentType, echo.ApplicationJSON)
		c.Response().WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
		for _, l := range locations {
			if err := json.NewEncoder(c.Response()).Encode(l); err != nil {
				return err
			}
			c.Response().Flush()
			time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)
		}
