You may want to take a look at the Punks feature built into Carbonite. Some of the things that VKOS does are already integrated. Including locating Punks on the map, listing them in a nice moveable frame and a real nice benefit....the accuracy of the enemy blips seem to be better when there are more Carb users around
I was able to watch a horde toon (I'm Alliance) moving around on my map in SW while I was in the AH. The Horde toon was in the far western side of the mage district
There's a checkbox in the options menu to disable Carbonite taking over your social window. I'd try there first to get your options tab for VKOS back
