In times where knowledge slowly and surely becomes a criminal act if created just "by interest" I am not willing to send any data (like GPS data) to google or others like them. "headless" vs. "see the map": Sorry, the explanation may be missing in my mails. The headless device is only used as "GPS recorder", which only stores the GOS data given by GPS module. The visualization is done lateron on my PC... The headless device (Beaglebone black) "only" has 512MB RAM and 16GB SDcard flash... And the CPU is not made for heavy mathematics... Best regards, mcc
