Forum members,
I thought I read a post about Parallax ordering a new vendor or type of GPS module.
I am working on adding a GPS module to my track bot, however I am not sure if I should purchase the GPS receiver module now or hold out for the new type?

    Hold off. Then you can choose.

    Hey guys,

    The new module is simply the Polstar PMB-248 without our adapter/microcontroller board that enables smart mode, so you will have only NMEA format. These arrive in about a week. Price is expected to be $39.99 or maybe less.

    Great news,
    That gives me a starting point until they arrive.
    Thanks Ken.

    Ken that is a good price. I'll have to get me a couple of them.
    I'll keep an eye out for it on the website.

    There is a fine line between arrogance and confidence. Make sure you don't cross it...

    Nice! I'll have to order one when they come out. I'm sure I can find some project that can use one...
