Arduino LCD Shield LCD Arduino Shield is available in Amazon
Arduino Ethernet Shield Ethernet Arduino Shield is available in Amazon
Arduino GPS Shield GPS Arduino Shield is available in Amazon

Arduino shields are built so that they can easily stack over the Arduino main board to reduce implementation space and wiring works.
