fed it my IP with the port, and viola! I had a map pinpointing my location.

working on a mobile AP in my backpack for school and activities.

what other services have you all used?

I'm looking to map my routes, time and speed, possibly be able to have approx. coordinates translate into what I am near/at (like what class I'm in)

http://homepage.mac.com/im_electronic/map-loc.html will be up once my .mac syncs up. showing my current location

EDIT:
getto google API key for where your hosting the code
read his FAQ
next up is to get this into a website of sorts with my other project details
also need a way to log coordinates/data and have his site or local solution do a rolling 24hr. path
I think I can via a syslog daemon, but it's a little beyond my abilities, soon maybe.
