Hi Everyone -
I need to know, before i buy the GPS starter kit will it also work with the direction/compass kit?
AND
Using both the GPS and compass kit at the same time, is there a ethernet output module that i can include?
thank you

Re: FLORA GPS Starter kit question
The GPS and compass modules should both work with the same Flora, but Ethernet will be a problem.
The Flora is designed to run wearable electronics. Ethernet is a wired protocol. Put them together and you get a backpack containing 100 meters of CAT5 cable.
There are Ethernet shields for the regular Arduino (http://www.adafruit.com/products/201) and there's an Arduino that has Ethernet built in (http://www.adafruit.com/products/418). Standard Arduinos will talk to the Flora GPS and compass modules, but getting the Flora to speak Ethernet will take a bit more work.
