The app on the device can be faily simple. Just call the url with longitude and lattitude on an interval. The server just logs the points and another page/script on the server gets all logged points and makes them availible in Google maps. The server part works already.

And yes. it will drain the battery. I'll bring a large powerpack with me as 50km will take me 11 hours including rest stops at least.

That looks nice/doable indeed. Thats something to look at. Will be my first steps with Python though.

Thanks all,
