Is it possible to make a dynamic route in Google Maps?

Question

I am using a program that every 4 minutes sends me (via email) a GPS position in a format of a link to Google Maps, like so:

Move to N10.0700+E50.8625
Move to N10.0700+E50.8925
Move to N10.0700+E50.9225

I need to know two things:

Is it possible to make a script that takes the positions and shows them on Google Maps directly (so I don't have to enter the mail and press the link every time)?
Can I make a route that shows me every point I have been? (Lets say I got 10 mails, so I have 10 points—can it been shown as a route from point 1 to 10 and show me all the points in the way?)

You can create a custom map in Google Maps to accomplish this. You have the option of plotting points or using polygons to display map information.
