Trying to do something quick and simple to at least give you a chance of getting your machine located and back to you is better than doing nothing at all.

We had a short discussion on irc about this thread and I went hunting for a google maps api which should keep historical tracks of your device if its required.

Once you get the functionality to tell the server where your device is (whether once per session or every few minutes) then many additional data processing options can be used

It would be really good to add this server side functionality into maemo.org * and have the client software pre-configured to go to your account there.

Obviously all private unless specified and can be reconfigured to any server.


*mainly because not everyone has their own cputime and webspace available.
