i've got a potential project for a trucking company in new orleans that
needs to use gps to locate trucks and post data to a central web site.
most of the gps devices cater to folks that want to know where to go. i
need to know where the trucks are to determine if folks are making their
deliveries or hanging out in the truck stop all day.
i'm thinking about getting notebook pcs equiped with wireless internet
(perhaps the sprint national network flavor) and a gps device. if each
of the 30 trucks sent email every 10 minutes and a program posted the
data to a central web site, i'd be happy.
any proposals from folks familiar with the tasks at hand?

Take a look at http://ncsu.transloc-inc.com/ . This is a pilot project
for a new company started by former NCSU grads for real time tracking of
buses, etc. The company web site is
http://www.transloc-inc.com/site/content/products/tvs .
I have no connection with the company but do work at NCSU. How usable
this would be in your need I don't know. I don't know how they get the
positional information sent back.
