Haven't ordered yet.  That's in my "longer term" plans for this project.  :)

Did you ever do that order for HVW?  I might be convinced into getting a
GPS module for my robot.  I mean it's going to be able to see, so it may
as well be able to read a map :)

Yep, but it kills the battery real fast and not all of the various "distros" for it include GPS tracking tools.

But, I had totally forgotten about that, and it will probably suffice for my initial needs. Thanks.

BTW, it's the Freerunner.

k.  I'll throw a topic out there for general discussion.  Anyone know of a
decent but cheap GPS tool that can capture data to an SD card?  I'm looking
to capture some tracks/paths in NMEA 0183 format (hope I got the number
right).

 I would prefer a tool that works well with Linux of course.  I was in Best
Buy a couple weeks ago and it seems they only carry things that work with
Windows (that they know of...).

 The GPS tool is only one part of a somewhat larger project I have in mind,
but I need to start with the data collection...

 Thanks for the thoughts.

 RE: Linpus.  Thanks for the offer Cam, but I think I'll stick with Kubuntu
for now... :)

Do you need more than one?  Your Freerunner (or is it the 1973?) has
GPS and a (micro) SD card slot, right?
