Using a Pharos Bluetooth GPS, my Sony Clie, Apple PowerBook, and Motorola V600 will be aware of their location (NMEA-formatted latitude and longitude) at all times. Using TripPilot, I'll get directions and real-time maps on the Clie. Using TerraBrowser, I can have real-time satellite mapping on the PowerBook (maps courtesy of TerraServer. With the VB600, I can transmit my real-time location (possibly even update my website with a "Where in the world is Ken Foreman?" bar on the top with a map and GPS coordinates of my location)

...it's an interesting concept. I'm looking forward to experimenting with it and implementing it next week. :)
