GPS tracking with Google Maps

Developers have created a new pastime, fauxjacking, that mashes
together GPS mobile phones and Google Maps. One fauxjacking service,
Mologogo, requires only a $60 GPS-enabled phone and the use of a
mobile carrier's Internet services to work. People can use the free,
downloadable Mologogo Java application (available at www.mologogo.com)
to create real-time visual records of their movements. Push pins on
the Google maps show the times the tracked device was in a particular
location.
