Perhaps not in the same league or with the same gee-whiz appeal as a SDR GPS receiver but how about your own DIY GPS receiver: http://dangerousprototypes.com/2011/11/24/homemade-gps-receiver/ and the authors web page: http://www.holmea.demon.co.uk/GPS/Main.htm
Yes, indeed.. that's sort of the other approach to building receivers, with a first mixer and filtering at IF. These days, most people just amplify and filter at the L1,L2,L5 frequencies and sample the 1 bit output at an appropriate rate (38-39 MHz). With Holme's approach, you need to synthesize the 1.5 GHz LO, which takes more gates, parts, etc.
