wear-hard-- >From a comment on Slashdot (so who knows how much longer they'll be in stock): http://www.bgmicro.com/lmad.htm It's a "Trimble Navigation SVeeSix-CM3 GPS Module for Embedded OEM" unit. Description from the site: "GPS OEM receiver board with active patch antenna. Removed from equipment that tracked position of 'long haul trucks.' Rugged and reliable six-channel Trimble Navigation SVeeSix-CM3 GPS receiver board. Position and velocity data anywhere on earth, any time of day, in any weather. Accurate time. A 1 pulse per second signal is synchronized to UTC within a nominal accuracy of 1 microsecond- ideal for multi-site synchronization and time-distribution applications. Includes 1-3/4''x1-3/4'' active GPS patch antenna. Ready to incorporate in a weatherproof housing. Antenna is powered directly from the receiver. 2 CMOS/TTL compatible data ports and pulse-per-second(PPS) output. Can be interfaced to PC(RS232 interface, suggested interface schematic included) or embedded processor projects. Manufacturer's software, freeware/shareware compatible programs available. User must supply regulated +5Vdc, interface to PC or embedded processor, and a weatherproof housing. Ideal setup for individuals wanting to incorporate GPS into their next custom design project, or for those wanting an inexpensive means to explore GPS hardware and software interfaces. Includes multi page "Getting Started Guide" with specifications, suggested RS-232 interface schematic, firmware ID and programming guide, and suggested Internet information links. A steal at twice the price."
