Hi all,

I don't think this would be a hard thing to do, but I don't know if it has been done yet, so I thought I would ask.

First the basics I guess,
I'm running a HP pavilion laptop 1.86 Ghz with 512mb of ram.

GPS reciver is a Delorme Earthmate LT-20 which I got from a friend, he lost his CD's so I downloaded the serial emulator, and use Microsoft streets and trips with it.

I use a T-mobile internet card so I have internet access almost 24-7 when traveling.

Basicly I would like to find a program that would update to a website or Email my location in real time so that my boss and friends and family can see where I am when ever they want to.
Is there a program that will do this out there?

Automatic Position Reporting System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia <-- Here is a good start to explain what APRS is. This may not be what your looking for, but APRS will do exactly what you want to do though... Hope this helps. For more information google "APRS" without the quotes...

Justchad, there is something out there. Let me see if I can find it again.
