You give me wayyy too much credit, Todd.  The Palm code is written in a 
Basic-like language called CASL which is actually interpreted, not 
compiled.  Yes, you are right that the limiting factor is speed (we DO 
check long and lat values when recording with a PC).  And I'm rather 
certain that a compiled C program would get us additional speed.  
However, I'm much more interested in using that possible-newfound-speed 
to get us 20Hz sampling rates from the Cube.  I'm not so worried about 
polling both lat and long values in the AutoStart loop.  I haven't had 
any trouble with this...has anyone else?
