Really, really beautiful! I most certainly do NOT think it is a waste
of time! I find that re-inventing the wheel (under the appropriate
circumstances) can be very educational and can lead to discoveries of
improvements to be made.

I have seen a "homebrew" GPS receiver before, but that was in grad
school where some fellow students were doing research on alternative
uses of GPS (like trying to get orientation information from GPS based
on Doppler effects and moving antennas).

GPS is one of those technologies which just doesn't seem like it
should really work. Theoretically possible, but it is amazing that it
is practical for consumer-grade items!
