YesL it's an ancient SiRF Star IV. There are newer, cheaper and more
accurate models, but it was the first GPS to appear regularly in hobby
projects at a then-reasonable price. Whether they use the same
connector, though ...

Yes, Elmwood Electronics has the SparkFun CAN-BUS Shield in stock —
https://elmwoodelectronics.ca/products/13262

He's currently out of stock of the 9-pin to OBD-II cable it uses, though:

It has! Or at least, an EM506 header. Which might be getting a bit aged
for current GPS support.

Craig, who owns Elmwood, is a huge car-hacking nerd. It's probably worth
asking him what's the best product to do «specific CAN-BUS-related
thing». Arduino's somewhat limited compared to newer platforms, but if
it's what you've got ...
(he might also have a solution for the out-of-stock cable, too)

Craig used to sell Carloop products - https://store.carloop.io/ - but I
don't see them on his site any more. They plugged straight into your
OBD-II port and had wifi/GPS/cell data options.

cheers,
 Stewart

The can bus one does, other than having a 9pin connector which I could
remove. The GPS is very expensive.

Thanks

Does this count?

https://elmwoodelectronics.ca/products/12751

647 phone number, so sounds fairly local.

This is snark - not helpful, just amusing(?).

I love the fifth image where they convert the board length from 78mm
to 30.7 inches.  Our American compatriots who can't read metric are
going to be expecting the delivered board to be bigger than a letter
size sheet of paper.
