Does the Adafruit model provide the necessary accuracy?

Hi Phil

Personally I would try an Adafruit
"Ultimate GPS Breakout - 66 channel w/10 Hz Updates using the MTK3339
chipset - v3".  They operate at 5V or 3.3V, have an onboard Voltage
regulator and its logic is 5V friendly.

I use one in my VE2ZAZ board.  Works
well and is extremely small.  It will
require a 3.3V external antenna if you
mount it in a box however.  Adafruit
sell a suitable external antenna and a
small coax tail which converts the on
board GPS antenna connector to SMA, to
fit the external Antenna termination.

The GPS units are currently around
$US40.00 each and can be purchased from
retailers or of eBay.

Can anyone recommend a GPS that is in
current production?

I've been using the SKM52, which Hans
Summers sells for use with his Ultimate
3. It works well, but I need a 2nd unit
and though that I would consult the
group before my purchase.
