I want to see if this is possible on my Treo, so any recommendations you can 
provide to help nudge me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

What I want to do is basically send in GPS information to my website for up to 
date viewing by visiters to my site.  I have written an application to do 
something like this before, but it was very manual in nature.

I would like for the program to monitor my GPS on a set interval and then email 
that information out in a format that I specify.  I will have a script running 
on my webserver that receives that email and does what it does to it.  So that 
leads me to my ideas and if it is feasible.

1) Can I have a program periodically poll the string coming in via the 
bluetooth GPS connection, format it and make it an email, even if I have 
another program running?  I think this is what gets referred to as a background 
application that I don't think Palm allows, but maybe there is some workaround 
that can make it happen.

2) Can I have the email (using versamail) automatically send out.  Currently 
the program I wrote transfers the formated information to Versamail to send, 
but I have to confirm sending it.  It would be great if that was handled 
automatically.

Let me know if I am just dreaming or if this is possible.  Thanks!
