I've wanted to do the same thing with my unit.  Unfortunately other projects keep bubbling up ahead of writing a little bit of code and doing it myself.

A couple of links:

"3DfixLCD" -- this is simple, someone has done the work, and I had a few spare 16F688s.  It kinda worked, (LCD display ok, pushbuttons OK) but never decoded NMEA data from any of several GPS devices.  I still haven't ruled out that maybe it's just me.

No experience with this unit.

"A GPS Display for Headless GPS Units"
No experience with this either, but it's simple and has a bare minimum of parts.  "Details and code can be supplied on request."
