Wouldn't a solution be to put some kind of shielding around the Foxboard so 
that it doesn't emit this harmful radiation?

 I had the same problem with an EM-406 GPS board with internal 
 antenna. I suppose units with external GPS antennae are more robust 
 to the interference, but probably this depends also on were the 
 antenna is actually placed.
 
 I too experimentally found that taking away the EM-406 board of 50cm 
 or more from the FOX is sufficient to get the GPS fixes again. The 
 connection in my case is standard flat telephone wire. The GPS board 
 is powered from same supply of the FOX and I use a MAX232 signal 
 translator colocated with the FOX to translate GPS low output to std 
 RS-232 level. 
 
 Regards
 
 Ugo
