Amund, According to 47 CFR 15.101, you source is correct. The cautionary note here is that: The receiver is exempt, but the electronics after the receiver are probably not. The FCC would see your GPS as a composite device and the digital device would be subject to probably either verification or DOC.
>From 15.101: (b) Only those receivers that operate (tune) within the frequency range of 30-960 MHz and CB receivers are subject to the authorizations shown in paragraph (a) of this section. However, receivers indicated as being subject to Declaration of Conformity that are contained within a transceiver, the transmitter portion of which is subject to certification, shall be authorized under the verification procedure. Receivers operating above 960 MHz or below 30 MHz, except for CB receivers, are exempt from complying with the technical provisions of this part but are subject to ยง 15.5.

So, What's correct ? Does Part 15 apply ?

As for a receiver you need to have it approved to FCC Part 15 Class B. These devices are just receivers and would be treated the same as a walkman. AS for exporting to Brazil if you send me an E-mail I can give you information on a company that specializes in this area.
