The partfoundry GPS offering has been branded as locoGPS (location and GPS, get it?), and, by the looks of the rendering, has slimmed down on partfoundry’s prototype GPS module.
iPhone GPS Module
The iphone GPS module allows jail broken iphones to finally have GPS functionality. This module is in development and will be shipping in February. All software is open source and more applications are being written every day.
