Has anyone attempted to attach a GPS unit to the Fon.

There's gpsd and other required packages I just need to work out attaching the GPS.

Going by the schematics there is no USB host support (though i may have missed it)

I know a serial port can be wired in but I can't seem to find a serial based GPS unit.

If anyone knows where i might find a serial GPS please let me know.

I should have gotten 2 of these little things.

I Love hardware hacks.

Before i even powered this thing up I cracked it open and wired in a usb cable.

Yes i know basic but it lets me power the thing(i had no AA batteries or US to AU converters.

I have been digging into the option of the fon2

Its got some much nicer options.

1 thing i can't find.

is it still 5v powered?

yes it is. The Fon+ went to different connector and 7(ish) volts but they came back to the normal Fon 5v for the Fon2

Are you guys talking about the FON2 or FON2N? I am on the hunt for the FON2 but have been unable to locate one for some time. The FON2N is a no-go item. If you guys know where to locate a FON2, shoot me a private message. I need to buy a few.
