Thanks, Kevron.

Indeed, folks stick to what they know. I do it.

We will definitely look into it. I suppose it won't just get me the location 
but also speed, track, climb and the timestamp of course.

cgps is just convenient when it comes to testing. I can immediately see if the 
receiver is working and fixing the sats. A GpsFix property is actually very 
useful since it tells me if the reading is usable for a certain purpose.

I do want to use AMB with GPS and OBD-II in combination to correlate data. I 
have one of these ELM327-based USB OBD-II devices.


Merry Christmas,
