This is awesome! Such a great accomodation of device to neat use!<p>I&#x27;d love to see better ways of connecting gps devices, vs having to solder them on. Do Kobos accept any other peripherals over usb, or can they only present as a device via gadget mode? It&#x27;d be great if usb gps device modules got compiled, so one cpuld just be plugged in. There&#x27;s also things like gpsd daemon, which can present location over network: A phone or dedicated device could make that happen, but it&#x27;s definitely a little.funky figuring out what networking makes sense, whether wifi-p2p makes sense or whether it&#x27;s ok to have a specific AP device to rely on (with perhaps it&#x27;s own reliability &amp; battery concerns).
