what exactly do you want to display? Site locations (maybe GPS
data)? An x-y graph (e.g., quality control)?

There's certainly the library functions to do what you want - it might
just require a little bit of coding. g.gnuplot might be helpful if
you're updating an x-y(-z) graph... you might rip something out of
v.digit to display sites/vectors in a transformed space (it already
reads a serial port for info)
