I orded a cheap bluetooth gps unit off deal extreame ( http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.25563 ) which arrived today.

So it took a while to install bluetooth and gps software to my eeepc, but it works now, and I've taken it for a test run. I plan to use it to map out some of the smaller towns outside christchurch, which don't have airal photo coverage, like leeston and southbridge.

Also, I hope to combine it with my eeepc and some yet to be written custom software to make a sweet gps navigation device. I'm thinking opengl baised real time rendering. I'll continue thinking about it.
