The GPS data is then on my website, in combination with Google Maps, processed to nice pictures with the current tracking path of my 'stolen' N900. This made my N900 a moblie GPS tracker... It works great!

This is why the N900 is so great, a little mix of Python, Apache webserver, html coding & Google Maps makes it all possible...

It's also possible to send other information this way; battery life, movement (accelero meters), webcam picture etc.
What if he swaps the simcard?
