The latest issue of Silicon Chip magazine includes a construction project article for a "GPS Car Computer" with the following LCD readout features:
* Digital speedometer
* Overspeed alarm
* Fuel economy meter
* Distance and time to destination
* Digital clock with GPS accuracy
* Heading, compass and altitude
* Current latitude and longitude
* USB interface for laptop navigation connection
For those capable of assembling the kitset this may be an interesting alternative to a GPS Navigator or a useful addition to a Laptop mapping setup.
The magazine says that Altronics will be marketing a kitset but they have not yet listed it in their online catalogue nor is there any indication of price.
