Have you looked at the every trail app?

I was looking for something like this last year, for similar reasons.

Most of the options were aimed at short term updates (more of a "I'm in the city, come and find me if you are too" idea) rather than regular updates over a longer trip.

I could use Atooma or other automation app to fire off a Tweet or other check-in regularly, but I couldn't see how to make any of them auto-include the location.

I ended up just manually Tweeting fairly regularly. I used Twitter because I usually don't and didn't want to clutter up my G+ feed, and there's quite good websites that'll take a Twitter ID and show the updates on a map.
