We have a USB socket and I guess we can act as Master and talk to a GPS receiver? Mine is Qstarz BT-Q818XT 10Hz if that matters

    While the original idea was to integrate with enclosed GPS modules via Bluetooth or USB, there is also a TTL option:
    "NEO-6M GPS Module"

    According to http://elecfreaks.com/store/download/datasheet/wireless/NEO-6_DataSheet_%28GPS.G6-HW-09005%29.pdf

    Maximum Navigation update rate:
    NEO 6G/Q/M/T: 5Hz - good enough
    NEO 6P/V: 1 Hz - probably too slow

    We already have UART code. You would either need to enable another UART or change the MACROS so that you turn off Tuner Studio while developing GPS code.

    Hints: console rulezzz, 'addConsoleAction1' and 'print() / scheduleSimpleLogging()' are our friends

    It looks like we should use http://nmea.sourceforge.net/
