I have a hunch that you may need to take a closer look to your exception architecture. It's something that's often neglected in Java design. IMHO general having try/catch in tight computation code is not a good sign. There are many, many articles on the net on designing a good exception system. I

GPS integration although relatively trivial has always been a problem for Java apps because the necessary APIs to talk to the hardware (RS232, USB or Bluetooth) have never been part of the standard Java distribution.
