The Game Boy Advance GPS

What's the perfect companion for your vehicle's
diagnostics-reading Game Boy Advance? A Game Boy Advance that's morphed into a GPS unit. Mikhail Sharonov was disappointed with the vector graphics display on most of the popular mapping receivers and wanted to whip up a raster-based map display to track current map position. Enter Game Boy Advance to the rescue — combined with a GPS device with a serial out, a Game Boy Advance flash cartridge, and some free software and you could have yourself a nice little GPS unit voted most likely to not be found gracing the dashboard of the neighbors' SUV.
