Tracking a Treo Pro

Is anyone running a real-time tracking app successfully on their Treo Pro?

I'm running the stock Sprint ROM, no RealVGA, and trying to find some way to track the location of my phone in real-time, or close to it, with regular updates. I've tried Google Latitude, but while it works fine on my HTC TP2, it won't update in the background on the Treo Pro. Mologogo crashes, trackr runs the GPS constantly so runs down the battery. Instamapper seems like a good option but won't run on Windows Mobile. GPS Location by Highway over at XDA would be great (you can set it to check the GPS and send an email at specified intervals) with a dedicated email address, but this part of the app's functionality isn't working properly. Other apps that work great on my TP2, like GPSToday, lock up the Treo Pro for some reason. My best solution so far is Smartphonetracker which responds to an SMS with location info, but since I pay per SMS this isn't optimal. It will help if I ever lose the phone, but I'd rather my family be able to see my location on a regular basis.
