While no pictures of the GPS receiver are available, it's very unlikely that it will fit entirely inside the SD slot. For example, Sony makes a small GPS receiver that connects to its Clie models through the Memory Stick slot and it requires a relatively large external antenna.

Ed,

Here's the pic of the SD GPS module you posted last year over at PIC:

Anyway Matsu****a made an annoucement in March of 2002 that they would be releasing a SD GPS module last fall but it never happenned! This has made me skeptical if this will ever be anything beyond vaporware...
