My guess is that you will need some sort of device to log the data from the GPS and then transmit it across a wireless network (pager, SMS, cell phone). At your base station, you would have capture the messages, parse them, and then probably stuff the data into a database (PostGIS?).
Your MapServer map file could then point to the spatial data layer in PostGIS. Every hit to MapServer would show the latest data.

Please let's not hijack my poor thread :)! Anyway, here's my original question: "How can I upload/stream near-real-time GPS data from on-site to webserver/MapServer (MapServer 5.x can read *.gpx)?" I've been referred to http://franson.com/gpsgate/ from the usenet groups. I am looking for something with WPA.

What I'm trying to set-up is a grid that is in GML file. And I want MapServer to build the layer reading the GML file and give it to OpenLayers (javascript API) would read it as WMS. I have instaled MapServer in C# so I'm using MapScript. Is this possible?
