Sending the GPS coordinates using sms could also be an option. The program itself should be a console deamon or similar, so it's hidden from everyone who is just normally using the device. I think there is a similar but paid service for iPhone.

Only problem is that someone needs to develop this application and host the web service
Ive got a free service for my android.
You can find it here ==> http://www.instamapper.com/

Im sure it would be simple for us to come up with something similar for maemo , maybe instamapper can help us integrate in their service too.

But for now, im just getting annoyed with Nokia's attitude about the release date for this phone. Heck I dont care if its delayed till Jan 2010, but I really wish they come out and give us a damn date !
Dont feel interested at the moment in spending any effort in development, id rather start developing for a phone that I know I will have by the next month, palm pre, android whatever.

sorry for expressing this frustration, but the main idea of my post was to show you this service :-)
