The Sparkfun eval board has a connector for it, and they sell JTAG debuggers as well. An RTOS makes initializing/controlling GPS receivers, and capturing data from these quite easy. Otherwise the Printf via serial port, or a character LCD works wonders (I posted LCD driver code for the Arm on the yahoo LPC2000 newsgroup some time ago, glueless connection between LCD and Arm). bye, Said
