You can look for a GPS disciplined oscillator (GPSDO), an FE-5680 Rubidium 
based oscillator, or look for some of the lesser expensive GPS receiver 
modules that have 10MHz outputs.

A GPSDO can be expensive but there are some more affordable ones if you look 
around. FE-5680's used to be available around $100US (or less if you got 
lucky). Lately the prices seem to have gone up for these devices, and they 
tend to be power hungry. There are some GPS receiver modules that have GPS 
receiver blocks on them made by companies such as Ublox. Take a look for GPS 
receiver devices that are meant to be used as part of a flight control 
system for radio controlled aircraft (or what some people call drones).
