I think that it can be done easily... if you installed a linux based Operate System, as Gentoox for example, you just would need an USB based GPS and a program that can read the info on the USB port and then do for example a GRAPH or DATA BASE...

This has been done on PDA's and Laptops...

Cheers.

Gentoox is a version especially designed for the XBox. It is based on Gentoo. Good stuff.

If i can send a fax with my xbox.. then you should be able to add a gps device and perhaps look for a GPS Application opensource for linux
