For GPS we support the NMEA standard and we have tested the software with several different receivers - serial, USB and Bluetooth, so I do not expect any problems there.

As for the XM / Sirius - a friend of mine is doing some research right now in the US, but any suggestions are welcome. We need a compact unit, that can take +12V or lower and can be controlled over USB (eventually serial but since this would mean an additional adapter, we prefer USB) and preferably has optical output.
