Subject: if anyone would like me to release it ...

I have uploaded a shared object package, which is an interface to GPS
receivers. it allows you to determine your current position, heading and
speed from a GPS receiver linked to your pc. It also optionally plays
various sound files for events such as acquisition of signal, obtaining a
fix, losing a fix, loss of signal, changing quality of fix, etc. More than
one script can interface with the GPS concurrently.

This does require an NMEA COM driver for your GPS, which runs on the pc. I
have had problems with the USB drivers from Delorme, and so do not recommend
their drivers.
