I used to have a gps program setup on my 770, which was a long time ago. I ported it to my 770, originally it was running on a laptop running linux and a live camera feed as I drove down the road was in the spot where the text is now on my page.

It was all just plain shell scripts. wget is used on the 770 and it calls a sh script on my webserver and gives it directions, which would dynamicly generate new html files. I used camserv for video from the laptop.

It would be nice to send live video from the flight
