Hacking GPS Navigators
I ran across some TomTom hacking information today and was curious if anyone had any experience hacking their GPS units (whatever brand they may be). Unfortunately my new TomTom v3 has no SD card slot, which puts a damper on hacking it (assuming I had the time anyway).
I was thinking a hacked GPS unit might be a great way to try out the mpg control system queues idea I've mentioned previously. I guess with enough data you might be able to derive coast down information, but you'd have to account for the lack of instantaneously accurate information so I'm not sure how practical that'd be. I wonder if using an OBDII to USB converter if you could plug it in to the GPS unit's USB port and read it?
Probably easier to wait for more Google Android devices (my original plan). Learning to code that would have a lot more general utility.
