My wish is to have an app that allows you to log your current location to a website so that people can see where you are. I want to use it while walking long distance marches. I'm walking the four days marches in Nijmegen in the netherlands. It's four times 50km and i want my location to be visible to my friends so that they know when i'm at a certain point on the route. That way it's easy for them to meet me while walking.

I know that you can do something simular with google but i also want to be able to log the complete route. An example can be found here: http://www.robvonk.com/wandelen/4d2008/15-juli-dag-1/ (at the bottom). This one was made with a gps logger and i had to put it on the web after i was finished. With a 'live tracker' the route will be plotted while walking.

Wanted features:
- Let people enter custom url for logging points
- Use tags for lattitude, longitude, timestamp
- Support http and https
- User controlled logging interval
- Low cpu usage

I created a server part for the logging in php. You can log a point by calling this url: The timestamp is optional but because the gps time is very accurate, i'd like to be able to have the exact time.

You can define tracks with begintime and endtime so that points will be 'assigned' to a track. The track can be shown in Google maps.

My plan is to 'open source' the server part and add some more features like the ability to add a 'planned route'.

Now what i need to get this working is an app that calls the url at a customizable interval with as low as possible CPU usage. A daemon that can be started/stopped/controled from a gui would be nice but just a gui would be fine too. My guess is that it's easy to add to one of the gps tracker apps thats already is availible.

Rob
