Having discovered that there are GPS 'dongles' that plug into the USB
port - readily available for $10-ish, I decided to pick up my old A+ and
do the thing. I have a 5" hdmi touchscreen on it for display, so no kbd
or mouse needed.You can actually just capture the GPS output from one of
the tty ports, but I wanted more than that so installed gpsd and
foxtrotgps and we're good to go. With that in place and lxde running,
about 2/3 of memory is used, so I'll go with twm - that more than cuts
memory usage in half. Plan is to move it over to a zero. I have a fairly
good capacity power bank to use it with.
