V1VD Prototype parts ordered

I have gotten all the prototype parts ordered, and hopefully I will receive everything in 3-4 weeks. The cases and the boards both have somewhat of a long turnaround time, I hope that they don't go too far over their estimates.

GPS Support

V1 Virtual Display v0.9

I have just published an updated version of the V1 Virtual Display software, with basic GPS support. When connected to a supported GPS, V1VD will log the speed, heading, and position (decimal latitude and longitude) to the alert log.

It isn't very useful just yet, but some new features are on the horizon, including auto muting based on speed, smart filtering of alerts based on logged falses, and maybe even real time tracking of other people's alerts (with an always on internet connection in the car :))

I have also improved the filtering of alerts, and I drove all over town the other day without having the display pop up without an actual alert.
