Default VIGIL SATNAV RX

You're thinking of NavSat, aka Transit -- the old system which very
few of us ever used.

SatNav is GPS, so satellites aren't a problem. But, why anyone would
want an old GPS is a good question -- it probably has the GPS 1024
week problem (the GPS equivalent of the Y2K) and is probably not
usable.

before you worry about that connector I would think that you should
think about how you are going to get enough sats in orbit and keep
them programmed to sent info to that sat nav as the U.S. gov stopped
doing it many years ago. I don't know if the sats are still in orbit
or if they have all been burned up on reentry, perhaps someone else
knows what happened to the sat nav sats.
