Started playing with my phone and a pretty interesting website, trackr! (http://www.trackr.nl/)
All you need is a modern mobile phone and a GPS receiver.
"trackr! currently works on the following mobile phone types:
Windows Mobile 5 and 6 (PocketPC and Smartphone).
Java phones with support for MIDP2.0 (Nokia E50, N73, N95, etc.)."As you drive, the phone picks up your speed and coordinates and sends them to the website in real time. At the end of the run you can save your track within seconds. Good part is the data amount is tiny, the software is free to use and, providing you've got the gear already, cheap as chips to setup.
Here's me driving to and from work :) (http://www.trackr.nl/user/playfordian/cb6qm3zf/My-funky-commute)
