Here's the link to the cabtracking piece Eric mentioned, developed by Scott
Snibbe and Stamen Design for the Exploratorium's Invisible Dynamics project:

also, I've been playing Sharkrunners for about a week now. It's a pervasive
online role playing game that uses real-time telemetry data from real sharks
tagged with gps transponders in the Pacific. It was developed by area/code
for the Discovery Channel.
