Can someone recommend a source for low-cost GPS engines for interface with
Stamp modules? I've seen (sold-out) prices for $20 or so from surplus
on-line stores, but can't seem to find anyone with units in stock near that
price (I'm willing to go up to about $50, but would prefer cheaper.)

Eventual end-use is ROV-type robotics.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Richard,

I have not seen them that low yet. Take a look at:

http://www.garmin.com/products/gps18/

I don't know of anyone who is stocking them but I know you can
special order them at www.aesham.com from their Las Vegas location.
You will probably have to call them on the phone. Ham Radio
operators use them for APRS. But there are lots of stamp
applications for them as well.

Good Luck
