The Wifi aerial will connect to the Edimax adaptor I have spare. Will install the boot partition onto a 2GB SD card and the main OS onto the USB stick (to avoid SD corruption)

For ~ £33 there is a waterproof GPS dongle (with fly-lead) but felt it was better to try and keep the cost down, will get the more expensive GPS at a later date if needed.

The Car charger is basically two USB ports, so seemed like the most flexible option
