Micromega has released software and documentation for using the uM-FPU V3.1 floating point coprocessor with the Javelin Stamp. Documentation and support software can be found at: http://www.micromegacorp.com/javelin.html

Advanced instructions and fast execution allows the uM-FPU V3.1 chip to handle data from a wide range of sensors, and perform the additional computations or data transformations required to provide the most accurate results.

Reading GPS data is easy with the uM-FPU V3.1 chip using the new NMEA sentence parsing capabilities. An added advantage, is that the GPS data is then already loaded on the FPU, ready for navigation calculations.
See Application Note 36 - Reading GPS data: http://www.micromegacorp.com/appnotes.html#an36
See Application Note 39 - Calculating Great Circle Distances: http://www.micromegacorp.com/appnotes.html#an39

The uM-FPU V3 IDE software, which automatically generates uM-FPU V3.1 code from math expressions, supports Javelin Stamp code generation.
