You are looking for GPS Tracking software - or something along the lines of
Single-Asset Fleet Management.

Fugawai has some software for this.  Their real-time tracking software
starts at $295 for a single vehicle.  It can send back location info via
TCP/IP.

Of course, if you have a HAM radio license, you could use APRS - Automatic
Position Reporting System.

Subject: [SOCALWUG] Remote GPS Locator


I would like to have my GPS transmit it's location to me remotely.  For
example, Hook my GPS to my laptop (typical wardriving setup), connect to the
Internet using my Sprint Phone, and somehow transmit the data to my home
computer via the Internet.  This is incredibly simple in theory, but where
would I find software to do this?

The software would have to take incoming serial data on the laptop/PDA,
forward it to my home via the Internet, and the home computer would have to
translate these packets into data that seems to be coming from the Serial
port for Mapping software to accept it.

The end result would be a live tracking map showing the location of the
roaming GPS device.
