I was thinking to write a simple application for Maemo 5 and I'd like to know your opinions about it.

My idea is to make a daemon (therefore no GUI) that should start with the phone and log its position every N minutes.
The position won't be stored in the phone, but sent to a server web (personal or public with account) and accessible through a web page.
Therefore if you lost the phone or someone stole it, you could trace its position and have it back.

What do you think about? Could it be a good idea?

ps: I'm an italian boy, therefore my English is full of mistakes... sorry!
