I have modestly invented a fully automated service "Mail-2-Map" based entirely on free web services. It reads coordinates sent by a collar, and displays it on the map below.
The map refreshes itself on regular basis. Originally it was designed for Thor, the first in the world deer-geoblogger. Later it was Solomon, a young buck. Then it is William, a young buck, then Gavin, also a young buck,then it was Devon, a beta male, then it was Dylan, also beta male, then it was Aven, and adult alpha female which gave birth to 2 nice fawns while mapping herself; then it was Carina J. Bond, BAC-007, now it is Daniel 1890/BAC-011. ..

Canadian Broadcast Corporation was so impressed with the method of relaying the coordinates via Google's Cloud, so it decided to interview the coder.
