Hi
I created gpstracer few month ago :
KML export, ftp upload
And a rss feed to easily access to your tracks

I've used a command line documented elsewhere here in the forums:
/usr/libexec/navicore-gpsd-helper > name-your-output-file.txt

The NMEA output may need some massaging but can be quite useful.
