Yes this is possible. You will need to create web service also where user movement is stored. The book I was reading "Professional Android Application Development" covers how to make the "speed" application. The application will need to probe a webservice now and then to attain the locations of other users and also submit it's own location and speed data. So basicall you need: 1. Local Android Application 2. Reliable internet connection on running devices (GPRS is fine as long as it is reliable) 3. A central database somewhere that holds all location and speed data...(Maybe a Java Applet).

Could you have a conference phone call going and output the gps location to this? Maybe interpret the sound stream as morse code? The app MyTracks will give you some ideas about UI.
