Need to know where you are in life? Need to know where you are going? Need a project to keep you from finishing your taxes? Worried you have lost your edge in geek cred?
Here you go. A really small GPS, a really small price, and some serious performance.
Swiss GPS, so you know it is precise........ Blue LED means "cool"
Need to make a nice housing? I suggest the cap of a lavender bleach bottle - goes with any tasteful interior scheme. Clear heat shrink completes the look. 5V pos, Ground, and serial out lines. Circle cut from autozone rewards card and some silly-cone seals the unit. This thing screams "class".
Performance? Thanks for asking... I programmed it for 5Hz updates and a 19200 baud data transfer rate - not bad at all. Gets a 3D sat lock in seconds. WAAS, SBAS? Check and check. Here is the "command center" software with Google Earth plug-in.
Blue and red LEDs flashing thru purple plastic adds serious "bling" to your glareshield.....
Meets the performance requirements set forth in the referenced TSOs???
Who knows - I'm having fun playing with it and it really seems to know its position in this world.
