Yes this is possible. You will need to create web service also where user movement is stored.
The book I was reading "Professional Android Application Development" covers how to make the "speed" application. The application will need to probe a webservice now and then to attain the locations of other users and also submit it's own location and speed data. So basicall you need: 1. Local Android Application 2. Reliable internet connection on running devices (GPRS is fine as long as it is reliable) 3. A central database somewhere that holds all location and speed data...(Maybe a Java Applet).
