GPS

As mentioned earlier, Borrowed Navigation Project brought up the idea of incorporating a GPS navigation system for my project. I am not very familiar with this technology, so I did some research on the prices of hand held GPS systems. They sound like they aren't too hard to use, although it looks like I would be needing to buy software in addition to the GPS device to actually create something useful.

$320 and (right) Garmin GPS 72 Track Plotter
$160

Most of the hand held models I've come across have been fairly expensive unfortunately, and I am still unsure at this time whether or not I want to integrate this technology into my project.
