I would say your could either use a commercial GPS with a screen, etc OR something meant for the hobby hardware guy. You probably want the latter as it would allow you to do exactly what you cant instead of trying to mess with reverse engineering a commercial product (like how there screen works) and it will save you from paying for something that has more features than you need.
Well why would it have more features then I want if I am saying I want that one? I don't understnad what there would to be reverse engineer. From what I seen I would hvae to make a cable to plug into it then the rest is code.

Kevin, is the interface software difficult to write? I know it is a vague question, but what is the process your usingi n your code?
