Very interesting Project.

WRT: GPS - I suggest that you look at alternative receivers. I have used HOLUX 'GPSlim236' for some time. Sensitive RX, blue tooth, & can be used as a walkabout unit too. 12 hr rechargeable battery.

The other GPS receiver I have is the Holux M247 GPS Logger. This also has blue tooth. It as a body worn unit (Neck strap). Both units work with Tomtom Satnav software.

I use the m247 to log my travels around the globe - it comes with software that converts the log file into Google Earth KMZs, so I can superimpose my track on GE! It also compares GPS Time with the timestamp on my photographs and logs the spot on GE so I now get an absolute 'fix' on all my photos (Took over 800 pics on a 5 day trip to Wiesbaden!)

I have used it on foot, cycle, in the car, Coach, taxi, and aircraft...magic
