I was thinking something like this would be perfect to integrate with
twittervision. (www.twittervision.com) It's got a great API already, or
you can just make a post to twitter with a string like "L:<location>"
included. <location> can even be gps coordinates. So, if one could
just specify that they were travelling (eg "L:travelling=<location>"),
the server could look at the last 10 or so posts with this format and
display a trail behind your avatar on the map. I told the creator of
the site about this idea and I'm just waiting for feedback.

Possible uses: can be combined with Google Maps or something like that
to give other people an idea of the "travel route" you have followed.
I plan on implementing something along these lines (without the POI
portion). My goal is to have a daemon running which records routes
constantly and periodically reports them to a server over GPRS
(probably gpg'ed first). When the route is reported to the server, the
server can respond with a command to adjust the reporting period.
The primary use is just to keep a record of everywhere I've gone with
the phone (reported once a day). Second, if my phone happened to get
lost or stolen, I flip a switch on the server and the phone would
report its position hourly or even more frequently. Even if the SIM
card was swapped out, as long as GPRS is still accessible, the phone
should still report its position. Unless the person in possession of
my lost phone finds this mailing list post, it should help me get my
phone back. :-)
