I suppose one could remote a weather station in a similar manner.

You can also run your GPS remotely via GPSD.  I've done it and it's
kind'a cool.  It also allows you to share your GPS amoung several
apps.

Another option is to connect to a remote APWPE instance running on
a Windows machine.  I've done this clear across the country via the
internet for Xastir testing.  It makes me appear to have a direct RF
presence in another state.
