Re: GPS receiver

I was able to get a used gps for $1 at a garage sale. If it is just regular GPS, you will need to convert the rs232 level serial signals to ttl level. You can use a max232 for this. If you are getting a regular gps and plan to use it with a micro controller, make sure it supports the NMEA protocol.
