I agree with Tocan I support Openseamap /openstreetmap. But with no tiles available for my area or i have not found a way to do this. My current setup is a UPS pico with your proto board on top. and the following lines broken out 3.3v,ground, SDA,SCL,1Wire and the serial lines. this goes to another box via Cat6 cable with the i2c sensors. I made a 1w bus on this and Terminals for the serial port.
I am hoping to find RJ45 jacks i can connect the 2 boxes with."
Not to second guess people way smarter than me, but I was also surprised the IMU was directly on a hat. Openplotter documentation has also long recommended that the IMU be distanced from the Pi due to magnetic interference. Like you and others I have my two i2c components (IMU and humidity sensor) in a "puck" which can be screwed in a fixed position a distance from the other hardware.
