I have a spare router and a HTC with a GPS. So the hardware end is pretty much covered. Or, could a server be set up with the router. Then by simply lauching the browser on the PDA, a person could upload the GPS fix in semi-real time. Along with another other data to appear on the map.(Name, Status etc)

Idea's?

gpsgate will do it, but not by wifi, bluetooth. You might be able to rig something up if you put a webserver on the laptop and had the pda upload to it and then had a script to parse it of the local webserver.

Trust me bluetooth is easier since its built-in functionality, rather then try to create your own solution.
