I'd go with an NMEA GPS module, read the data in through a serial port and
display it however you want.

Greetings, PICsters.

How would you go about creating a device to measure and provide a real-time
readout the speed of a canoe on a lake or a river? (using a PIC, of course?)
(...or not...)  :-) Only thing I can think of is GPS, but perhaps sonar, or
something?
