LinkSprite GPS Shield

The LinkSprite GPS shield provides GPS data for Arduino and compatible microcontrollers.
Another purchase from Maplin, this has not particularly good instructions. The photograph on the instructions page is unclear as to how to set up the shorting pins to select the serial port.

The shield takes an SD card, note that due to its advanced age, it only takes SD cards - not SDHC and above. It is a bit difficult to find 2GB cards.
