I was sitting back to see the response, because I thought that 
someone had already written this application.  But I guess it was
never made public.  I can see the interest in such an application.

User who will be traveling wants to update family on whereabouts
on log trip.   This application is called POSIT-MAIL.  He runs POSIT
mail on his PC before leaving home.  He tells POSIT-MAIL these
inputs:

Callsign to be tracked -
Email address to send to -
Start date/time -
End date/time -
Reporting rate -

POSIT-MAIL watches APRS-IS for 'callsign' and sends email
with lat/long and nearest city.  Subject Email also has a link
to 'map.findu.com/callsign' so recepient can also bring up
the map.

Done...?
