Thanks for the reply. it seems like what I want to do is relatively straightforward (at least until I get a bit more familiar with things)
I think I will order up a RPi4B and start playing around - got to start somewhere!

Thanks

A couple more questions if you don't mind:

Would you consider something like this (https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/pa1010d-gps-breakout) more suitable than an external GPS puck?. Maybe less power but possibly the cable attachment to a puck allows more flexibility? Or maybe pot it and run a cable anyway....
I am a little unsure about displays. Essentially all I need is a few lines of text, a subset of something like this https://openplotter.readthedocs.io/en/la...panel.html
I see there is an official Rpi display but I think that is overkill for my needs. it has to look neat as it will be in view all the time.

Thanks
