Forgotten the name of it but motorolla make a very good one (very fast acquisition time).

They all communicate over an RS232 serial interface.

I was going to do a project using this stuff too, but got distracted

Google will sort you out.

being a bit tick ... by embedded, do you mean it has no buttons or screen ... just NMEA/RS232 and some wires sticking out for a power supply?

[DanH]

atg thats how the embedded ones come yes.

[atg]

It gives all the background you'll ever want (and lots lots more) on what a measure of latitude and longitude actually means, the different types of long and lat framework (datum) that your GPS probably understands, and how to translate it into useful measures like Ordnance Survey grid references and equivalent.
