Can anyone tell if it would be possible to use this as a GPS data logger:

How difficult would it be?

Also has anyone heard anything about the FS Oncore GPS module. I think this could be a good module that SparkFun should carry.

The Rogue Robotics device is probably a good product. But you will still need a microprocessor to talk to the gps device and then to the uMMC. If you are familiar with PIC's I recommend taking a look at www.picbasic.org . Many of the users have written some really neat tools for this compiler. One of them being a FAT16 file system. I am currently using this for some of my own project and have entertained using it for my own gps datalogger. Using this method you would only need one microprocessor. Much like Sparkfun's own gps datalogger.

Thanks. I'll check that site out. I like sparkfuns Data Logger, I would just like the option of choosing which GPS I want to use.
