[OSM-talk] Build your own GPS receiver

[Rob Nickerson]

Hi all,

Going back a few years before GPS was widely available in pretty much
everything bar the kitchen sink (please do post a link if you find a gps
enabled sink :-) ) there was some discussion about making your own GPS
receiver. If anyone is interested in taking this on as a nice weekend
project, I have found that adafruit have a good guide for linking a GPS
receiver to a Raspberry Pi. All components are reasonably priced and the
guide covers everthing except running a RPi from a battery (google will
help here).

Regards,
Rob

p.s. A quick look at the numbers suggest that this is quite a good GPS
chip, but thoughts welcome if anyone knows any better.
