 I am interested in more information on GPS.  Does anyone have any good
 links?

About a year ago, I looked at gps stuff. I found that Trimble has two nice
little books they are willing to give you that discuss GPS and Differential
GPS....great introductory stuff. Several companies had small recievers (small
is relative...not small enough for my application at the time) and the
cheapest solution I found was a chip set from Rockwell that was approx $50US,
if I remember correctly. After you get the signals received and coorellated,
you still need reasonable power to calculate position and do anything with it.
I do not think that the PIC is the right horse for this plow. If you want more
details, e-mail me privately and I will dig out my file and try to answer
specific questions, but these times are-a-changin' and you will likely find
more useful info via a search with your favorite www engine. If you find
anything very small (less than one inch square) or very cheap ($30 or less at
100K volume) please let me know, I may be able to dig up my old client and
convince them to re-open the project.
