Umm... you kinda missed his point. He was saying that since it's a GPS antenna it should work with other GPS receivers in general, as long as he can get the right physical connector on it. From the very little I've read it seems like it could be easier to just put a different connector or use an adapter to hook it into another gps receiver you already have than to wire up a serial connection to it.
