That sounds like an interesting solution. What I've done in the past for some clients is to create a queue on the phone and when network connectivity is resumed, then sending out whatever is in the queue. That is not as real-time as your solution but it is easier...
Sometimes a network connection is not available on the tracking phone, either intermittently due to cell tower dead zones, or because the phone does not have a data plan. One solution is to use SMS to transmit the location info from the tracking phone to another [relay] phone, then have an app on the relay phone send it to the server via HTTP.
