The best thing you can do is buy the GPS module, the antenna and stick a few wires in. The cost of it all will cost you the same to buy a complete combo unit.

The above sell parts for GPS devices. The above link is for embedded applications. I have a GM-210TP - it came as part of a 'Road Angel' device and it works reasonably well.

I've read on other post of discounted GPS receivers from radioshack in the US for $30 - maybe the easiest way could be to keep searching the net for any offers on GPS receivers, even if it takes a few months to find something cheap it might be quicker than sourcing all the components for a decent price - my bet is that even if you can buy the actual parts, it will only be cheaper than buying a pre-built unit unless you're buying large quantities of components

heh,

I've decided to buy the GM-210-USB.....

next month Ill be in France, so Ill buy it for approx 120EUR...
