TweetDeck has live geotag and it is free.

How you get the geo-tweets display in your custom map - openlayers or
wms / tile server?

 StepJuan is back on the road.  For brief background, we helped Tomas
 and the StepJuan crew last year in mapping his journey from Paguppud
 Ilocos to Matnog, Sorsogon.  We provided him one of the gpstogo units
 to track the whole journey.  All traces are in OSM:
 http://www.openstreetmap.org/traces/tag/stepjuan

 This year he is planning to do the Visayas leg.  I'm looking for ideas
 on how we can once again track the journey and show a webmap.  Are
 there any GPS tracker available wherein we can directly interface to
 an OSM map?   The StepJuan crew is looking for sponsorships, if you
 have ideas, just post em here.

 Thanks!

 Hi firends,
 StepJuan is walking to town again! This time me and my team will walk
 through the 6 major islands of the Visayas Region, starting from Allen
 Samar and will end in Boracay Island, Aklan. This adventure will
 benefit children with cancer under the Philippine Children's Medical
 Center (tawid kalusugan program for indigent patients). With this i
 would like to ask for your help. Attached is a cover letter, the walk
 IT and our media plan.
 Hoping for your help and guidance.
 God Bless.
 Love and Peace,
 ~Tomas Leonor

Thanks for all the tips.  In the first StepJuan expedition, I gave him
one GPSTOGO unit, at the end of each day, he sends the file to me.  I
then process the file and upload in the website.  The process is
onerous both for me and Tomas'  so I'm thinking of automating this
process.

The best I can think of is to use a droid phone and send geo-tweets.
This way all he do is tweet his current position to show it on the
livemap.  Any free droid app that can send geo-enabled tweets?
