It is possible. At minimum you will need the following:

  1. A GPS device that has access to the internet and supports an HTTP stack for calling web services.

  2. A web server that exposes web services that can be consumed by the device. These web services will allow the device to report the most recent GPS data to the server.

  3. A web server (can be the same one as above for low traffic sites) that allows access to a google map rendering of the GPS data.

I have been working on a project that does this. The intent of the project is to learn how and share the experience. Here is the URL http://gpsnerd.com/

Hope this helps.
