Great! I might just get a letter from management as well, stating that
they're permitting me to do this; never know what might happen in the
future.

I've been looking into the format that the traces will come in, and it
looks like a weekly NMEA dump is going to be the least work for me -- a
single file, with all vehicles, that I can gpsbabel into GPX and
upload. But I'm open to suggestions on that....
