###HARDWARE

####Pi Zero Version

Part Link Cost
Raspberry Pi Zero W $10
Adafruit 2.4" PiTFT Hat (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2455) $35
NooElec Nano3 SDR $28
Adafruit GPS Hat (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2324) $45

USB Jack
MicroSD Card
Total: $118+

####Battery Options (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes) Portrait Orientation: 18500 Batteries (18mm x 50mm), ~1000-2000mAh ea. The Pi Zero configuration consumes are 500mAh

Landscape Orientation 18650 batteries (18mm x 65mm). ~2200-3500mAh ea. Adafruit pack + PowerBoost Charger, ~$40 Anker PowerCore 10000, ~$25

Other options external recharger (maybe cheaper and smaller?) along with 18500/18650

Some 18500 / 18650 include current protection inside, such as: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-Panasonic-NCR-18500-2000mAh-LI-ION-RECHARGEABLE-BATTERY-PCB-button-top-case-/391378348412?epid=1830264923&hash=item5b1ff7a97c:g:ePgAAOSwFqJWswnj, otherwise would require external protection circuit to be used in parallel.

####Pi 3 Version This gets you a slightly bigger screen, and slightly better performance using the SDR Smart rather than the Nano 3, but requires a ton of annoying port/header clipping and desoldering.
