Thread: Cheapest NMEA serial gps?

i would say try wall mart or something like that, just the cheapest one they have, either with a computer link cable, or a port on it that you can build your own cable for.

ive looked at the ones at canadian tire, and to get a computer link for one, would come to the same price as buying a usb one from the internet, because you have to pay shipping as well. but not at walkin store like canadian tire or wallmart.

never thought of wally world
gonna have to go pay them a visit!

www.bgmicro.com has serial GPS modules for under $20 (yes twenty).

but they're both old (4 or 8 channel) and you have to build interface hardware to go between rs232 and the gps module. if you dont mind either, than its a good deal, otherwise, spending 70 or 80 will get you a 12 channel usb/serial gps (I think the deluo's were going for 80).

I ended up getting one of those off of ebay for $105, not too bad
