I love it when a plan starts to come together.

Obviously you've found some stuff that has the creative juices flowing strongly. Good hunting.

I use a software that puts the GPS info into Excel

http://www.wingwaysystems.com/gpstoexcel/gpstoexcel.htm

You open Excel, and run this software, and it collects all of the GPS data as you drive and time stamps it. You cannot program it to take a reading every 10 minutes, it is more like every 15 seconds, but you just copy and past the data you want. I have found it very useful when traveling and data logging. Good Luck

Here's a very rudimentary logger I wrote for my own use. It's not very pretty but someone else might find it useful. As like other programs I've made available here, it's only hobby quality software offered with no guarantee of performance. It runs OK on my Thinkpad Windows XP machine.

The data file is Log.txt created in the executable directory. You can log the data either in parsed or NMEA format.

Parsed: Windows UTC date per local settings
Windows UTC time per local settings
Latitude
Longitude
Course Over Ground (true)
Speed Over Ground (knots)

The default baud is 4800.
