Well, thanks to Doug McCune I found out that there is a great (and free) application from Mologogo that installs in no time flat. The app will display maps from either Microsoft or Google, and optionally feed your GPS stats (including elevation, etc.) to an URL of your choice. This allowed me to for instance embed a map of my location here. Any time you want to know where I am (and I have my cell phone with me), the map will reflect my realtime location. Doug’s great post is can be found here.

I was thinking about doing something similar and stumbled upon your post. That rocks. I am going to do it too. That is an awesome idea.

I had been tinkering around with some similar ideas in the past. I had a Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard) hooked up to an external blootooth gps that was dumping gps log files to the phone. I'd load it into Google Earth to view my day and even play back the log in realtime. I never got around to doing much more and it turned into another unfinished project. I've switched to an iPhone now and still have pseudo GPS through cell phone tower triangulation and whatnot. One of the hacked 3rd party apps available by a company called Navizon has some neat tracking support built in where among other things you can join public and private groups that maintain the current location of all the groups members displayed on the phone's google maps.

If you combine this with a time line you could show your own space time continuum. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_time_continuum Have you heard of Flash Home? It's a Flash based OS for your cell phone. If you write your own GPS tracking software and write it in Flash / Flex then as long as you install Flash Home on your future phones you can always be running your software.
