There is a branch of Map Buddy in progress to add the tracking feature and save the log in a file:

http://gitorious.org/~andreash/map-b...mmits/tracking

It can be hacked to send the position to your webserver instead.

Map Buddy does not publish your location, only Azimuth does (if it is installed and enabled in the control panel). Azimuth does not need to be installed to use the tracking feature in Map Buddy.
