I'm considering the purchase of an hp50g that I do not need but will prove to be useful microcomputer for future. I'm not much past a basic calculus course but have the opportunity to learn linear algebra on the side with a professor in preparation for undergraduate research in sociology. I absolutely love RPN on my only hpcalc (35s)
A personal project: I would like to interface the hp50g with an gps receiver and have a programmable gps unit to measure m/s and act as a trip log. Ultimately I want something for measuring speed during a skateboard trip and for long automobile trips. I think the calculator route is best because it will allow me to display and process the data as I see fit.
Would these modules be suitable for the project?

I've looked at the software at hpcalc.org and things look promising for me. As you can tell from my post I am a newbie to hp and know very little about gps units.
