Hi Eric, Yes adding the compass as well could easily be done as we are already using the MPU-6050 and it is a compatible replacement.
The mini-PCI-e is the socket that a 3G/LTE card can be attached to, the interface to the beagle is USB and has the SIM interface as well to make things easy A GPS 3v3 LNA booster is also planned to allow the use of GPS antennas with LNA. Having the mini-PCIe enables the use of any card the user chooses. We have used SierraWireless and Huawei modules for the 3G uplink.
