The Free GeoTools blog links to an open source web-based GPS fleet tracking software named OpenGTS. From the site: "The "Open GPS Tracking System" (OpenGTS™) is the first available open source project designed specifically to provide web-based GPS tracking services for a "fleet" of vehicles. OpenGTS™, a companion project to OpenDMTP, was developed from the need for a simple web-based platform that can provide GPS tracking for entry-level commercial fleet enterprises, however OpenGTS is highly configurable and scalable to larger enterprises as well."
