Cheap GPS
Does anyone know where the best place is to get a cheap Gps?
I plan on interfacing it to a stamp. Do all GPS's have the same data
transimission method and same packet size and makeup?
Thanks
Shaun

I can tell you that there are several different formats,
if I remember correctly there is NMEA(this is the easiest I think)
TAIP, Binary, and another which I cant quite think off...
but I have some code I wrote for a BSII to get info from a NMEA
unit, I will be more than happy to share if you like.

I would like a copy of the code you used, if you do not mind.
