This would do what you want i believe, next time do some research on your own maybe? i found this after 5seconds browsing freshmeat search results.

And "why linux crap?" well because there wont be a stand-alone xbe for this, so i thought only linux could possibly do this. How it works, i got no idea, i dont have a GPS system, so you have to figure that one out.

you would have to get a usb gps system and then potentially modify the drivers for linux or write some application that can input the gps data .. cool idea.. seems hard.
