For you homebrewers and experimenters, I got a Mouser Electronics email
bulletin today showing off their latest additions to their massive
catalog. One item caught my eye....

Mouser has the full line of Tyco Electronics GPS modules starting at $28
for just one. The receiver is amazingly sensitive (-153 dbm tracking)
and some modules have built-in antennas. Click on the data sheet from
the webpage to see the power and output parameters/statements.

This module will feed NMEA RMC statements to anything on your boats!

Sure make a dandy addition to any laptop running NAV software.....(c;
