I'm not so worried about the maps and charts... I'm just interested in
relative displacement and time, and integrating (averaging) multiple
samples to try to gain greater relative precision.

I can get a list of samples easy enough from a logger and then run
through the GPX file offline. What would be neater is to hook up to a
netbook or RasPi for some realtime cleverness :-)

I may even look up using GPS as an ntp source again... (However, that
bit is rather low priority as a fun aside.)


Cheers,
Martin
