http://aprs.fi is an excellent site for pretty much ANYTHING to do with APRS packets. Using Google Maps, pretty much any information desired about a packet can be derived from this site, including decoded graphical representation of telemetry, RF path taken. APRS.FI even supports the commercial shipping tracking format known as AIS. APRS.FI also has an API that allows embedding of realtime maps within other sites, an example of this can be seen right here on this site.
