OpenGTS™ - Open GPS Tracking System 	

http://www.opengts.org/

"OpenGTS™ ("Open GPS Tracking System") is the first available open
source project designed specifically to provide web-based GPS tracking
services for a "fleet" of vehicles."

" OpenGTS comes with support for OpenLayers/OpenStreetMap in addition
to support for Google Maps, Microsoft Virtual Earth, and Mapstraction
(which provides mapping support for MultiMap, Map24, MapQuest, and
more). Within the OpenGTS framework, other mapping service providers
can also easily be integrated."
