Re: RS-232 GPS on RC?
Its definitely possible. I experimented over the summer with just using my desktop pc to test the possibilities of using an offboard coprocessor. I just hooked up the camera to the rc and loaded some serial code onto it and I managed to make the camera pan and tilt when I moved the joystick. That may not seem like much but it was the fact that my pc was doing all the work that proved that the serial communication worked. If you managed to get a data sheet for your gps unit that includes baud rate and the structure of the data packet you could definitely get it up and running. Just remember that your reception may vary and that some units take a while to find satellites.
