I'm meeting with an engineer on Weds to discuss building this and am pulling together resources so we can hit ground running.

Re: GPS on a Chumby using USB dongle

It should be easy to set up something like that to work, the only challenge being that it'll show up as /dev/ttyUSB0, which inittab will probably try to swawn a getty on that you'll have to kill before you open it.
