It's a ham thing, called APRS.
A big network of radio "digipeaters", and some "I-Gates" to get the packets into the internet.
Steve runs the Findu server in florida, which is what you saw.

The car has a Tripmate GPS, Kantronics KPC-3+ packet modem, and Yaesu FT-1500 system for this.
There's a lot more in there, but that's a long story.
