Similar.  When I checked into APRS.FI on my Baltimore to Atlanta flight I was astonished for APRS.FI to come up on Atlanta, exactly where I wanted to see... I was puzzled thinking, how did it know that?  THen I too realized that that is the main airport for AirTran and so that is where APRS.FI found the IP address...

Anyway, I asked Hessu if he could add the ability for me to put my position on APRS.FI for such a situation and in a few hours, it was done.

So, you can logonto APRS.FI and enter your position. Only people on the APRS-IS of course can see it...
