Some of those Microsoft hockey pucks used SIRF III chipset. I would check ebay for that kind of USB GPS. Streets and Trips, well specifically using a notebook for a display, has long been out of favor.
So I'm assuming here S&T didn't use NEMA interface format. -----Original Message----- From: David Kirkby <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2012 22:03:57 To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement<[email protected]> Reply-To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [time-nuts] ublox chip sets - what GPS device should I buy?

Somewhere I read it had to be ublox compatible, but having looked in the manual, it says: ------------------------- GPS (Global Positioning System) allows you to ‘stamp’ each data trace with your physical position in latitude/longitude/elevation format. This can be useful when making measurements on cell towers or other antennas at remote locations. NOTE This feature is usable ONLY with the GPS receiver that is shipped with Microsoft “Streets and Trips” and “AutoRoute”. The GPS receiver is NOT available from Agilent. Only the GPS USB receiver is used with the FieldFox. Therefore, it is NOT necessary to purchase the very latest version of the map software. ------------------------- So it seems I need to purchase Microsoft "Streets and Trips" with the optional GPS device, which is only $70 in total. http://www.microsoft.com/streets/en-us/default.aspx Does anyone know how good/bad that device is? I'd be using it in the UK 99% of the time.
