The modules I've been finding are expensive. Any ways to adapt an off-the-shelf GPS unit to the mount?

It will NOT make your alignments more accurate, and you will probably have a GPS with you anyway in the form of a smartphone...

They sell very cheap GPS units now. I was hoping for a $30 solution. Perhaps I'll design one myself... they sell GPS transmitters and receiver modules (on a PCB) so maybe I'll invent one. Thank you.

Maybe not. Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 24 registered and 51 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
