I pulled a Google on "war driving GPS" and found this one. http://www.free2air.org/story/2001/4/13/1419/40470
Towards the bottom it offers a Perl script that will pull information from a Garmin GPS on the serial port, and it suggests that data from the GPS can be matched up with signal strength readings in various tools supplied in Linux or BSD. Do a search on just "War Driving" and the myriad of tools available is actually almost mind boggling. Most are for Linux.
