Hi. Can the Parallax GPS be used to determine speed and altitude? I want to put this in an RC aircraft with a TV camera and watch the readout.

Why not send the data back using RF?

Thats a good question and I may do that. But the real question is can I use the GPS module to measure speed and Alt. I had a gps module for my palm pilot that did that, but I did not know if the inexpensive chips could do that.

Yes, it's good to 18,000 ft. I can't remember max speed.
