Abstract
Implementing a resource tracking service includes searching a database in response to a request for a resource from a first vehicle, retrieving a record from the database that is identified with the resource, the record mapped to a second vehicle. Implementing a resource tracking service also includes determining a geographic location of the second vehicle, and populating a navigation system map at the first vehicle with an icon reflecting the geographic location of the second vehicle.
