You don't need GPS for that. It's a quite simple Python script (without
GUI certainly less than 10 lines) for PyS60 (Symbian S60), that checks
the GSM/UMTS cell info, and sends a SMS to your wife if you enter a
specific cell ("I'll be home in 15 minutes" or "I'm near to the
supermarket, should I pick up anything?" come to mind).
