Guys,

Ran across this.

1.2x1.2" GPS modules with patch antennas for $48.   Output is either 
binary or NEMA ASCII info.

Besides the cost and size, it is advertised as being highly senstive @ 
-159dbm.  If I did my math right that's .0025 microvolts into 50 ohms.  
Most ham RX's bottom out at about 0.1 microvolt-- about 30db less 
sensitive.  Of course, zero atmospheric noise at GPS freq's.

Amazing.
