You could try the Byonics Micro Tracker All-in-One, which is based on  
the popular TinyTrak3. I thought that ArgentData (makers of the  
OpenTracker range) had a similar product, but I can't find it on their  
web site.

As for Tony's comments about the station being under the direct  
control of the licensee, section 9.1.c (page 12) of the LCD allows a  
loophole for stations in "automatic modes" like packet radio, which  
would also cover APRS. Otherwise, some Amateurs would probably be in  
trouble when their spouse or children take the car out for a drive :-)
