A software thing I built: GPS on a 25MHz 486-SX

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

This forum post recounts building a real-time GPS-driven moving map on a 25MHz 486-SX, using a Hipparchus library that relies on integer math to avoid heavy floating-point calculations. It places the project in historical context and notes the ethical/IP considerations around IP ownership and clean-room BIOS approaches.
