Do you think you could archive you entire project using the Propeller tool to include:
obj
gr : "graphics"
LCD : "Ks0108V1.3"
compass : "MMC2120MG_Object"
gps : "2xGPS_IO_mini"
f32 : "Float32Full"
File>Archive>Project from the Propeller tool.
Also, where to get that display?
EDIT: I found the full source. Didn't go down far enough.
just search on ebay for 128x64 ks0108
Another thought: to reduce overall cost of the base unit, you could use the new Simplytronics VPN1513 GPS/Propeller module that Parallax now carries. Gives you the GPS and fully accessible Propeller on a single PCBA for $35!! Beats the $10 eBay GPS and $35 Quickstart combo!
