The last time I soldered anything, Diodes were in glass bottles, and so recognising smd LEDs as opposed to the other smd components would not be my forte.
So now having that answered I will apply some power, and see if anything lights up.
Getting there slowly.

O.K. Well, it did not blow-up! The Leds seem to be sensible, judging from other peoples video and the voltages appear to be about right.
I have a external GPS antenna on order from eBay and it should be here this week, the GPS does not lock at all at the moment, even with a passive improvised patch indoors.
Thanks to everybody who answered my questions, I have read a lot of forum posts and I was expecting the worst, but so far I am content with how it has gone, so far!
Kindest regards,
Brian.
