I've done a similar thing with a long-running Perl script that
connects to the feed, snags posits that fit inside a bounding
rectangle, compares the position to a hash of already-received
positions, and if new, writes out an APRS object line to a file with
the new position.  You can then suck that file in to a client to get
a pretty picture.
