The portal swisstrains.ch is trying to provide real time train poistions on the internet. It is planned to record the locations of the trains via GPS and visualize the location on Google Maps.
Currently the site is in ALPHA-phase, we keep on developing. The current view is based on the Swiss traintimetable, and does not yet show the actual GPS-positions of the trains. But, as Swiss trains are almost always on time, most of the time the position is accurate.
In near Future this is a good tool especially if these can be visualized on your mobile phone. I think this is very usefull for Location Based Services (LBS) and Location Based Decision Support (LBDS).

Spatial applications arise from a strong tradition of of the importance of spatial information and techniques to represent our place or other phenomena in our world. Maps are the basic concept to achive this.
Maps are informative.
Maps are directive.
Maps are aesthetic.
Maps are a lot of things.
Maps are changing…
In the era of the internet and new Web 2.0 techniques the question arise how much is the unterstanding about spatial information changing? What’s new in mapping? Is it a little or a lot? It think it is a lot and a little.
Hockenberry has a great presentation on this entitled with Design of Spatial Applications.
