The SSD allows a longer time between recharging. To find out if GNAT will work. Load the GNAT system and example programs onto a Flash Drive. Install the drive into a USB port on the mimi at the store system. And try to compile and test example programs. Using command line. Note: You can use either VI or KATE/WRITE for your editor and the command line or TERM to compile and build programs. Then try excuting the GPS (will be VGA or low density SVGA mode). Note: The only problem I see is in using the GPS with a 7 to 12 inch screen it might be too hard to see the multi-windows to use. So you might want to use the GPS only when you have access to an external monitor.
