As an aside, there are now many rather small complete GPS "systems". Besides the handhelds with batteries (e.g., the little Magellans, Trimbles, etc.), the Magnavox 4200 series (including the 4200D for differential GPS) are particularly interesting for computer applications. Its little box is roughly 8"x5"x1.5", and it's a complete system (for regular 120V power), six channels, without a display, has just an RS232 port. The antenna is fairly small as well (you could hold it in your hand), connects to the 4200 via coax. Many (perhaps too many:-) options for various sorts of ASCII or binary output. I'm sure there's other interesting new GPS hardware now as well. I'd be Really Nice if someone would put together a list of what's currently available!
