My bad, I thought I was still replying to Mike.

Why bother? I have no idea.
Doug just told us that GPS synch was high on their list, but that GPS with
timing was too expensive. And I was replying to his comment.
I have been involved with developing AVL systems that use embedded engines
for over 10 years. The engines are now about 12 bucks. They have PPS
signals.
That should not be a show stopper especially if GPS is high on the list as
you say.
Heck- Motorola has a cheap Oncore GPS engine on the CMM Micro. Integrating a
GPS engine is not rocket science if you are designing the board anyway- its
just a TTL signal. If it is as high on the list as you say, then plugging
an engine onto a control board should be nothing. It could piggyback right
on some sort of routerboard type piece.
Explain, WHY, I want them to incorporate a GPS on their boards...
Well.. Uhhmmm... Maybe because I was replying to Doug Ratcliffe who said
it was high on the list. It certainly isn't ME who is asking. Why should I
justify it? If I want GPS I can use Motorola. At least they are legal.
Now if I have misunderstood the message threading/quoting and it wasn't Doug
who said that, then just change the reference to whoever it really was who
said it.

That isn't a reason to not use it.
A GPS Engine costs about 12 bucks. Almost all have the PPS output.

GPS Sync has been very high up on their list, however, the issue at
the moment is that conventional serial GPS units lack the necessary
timing precision for anything other than raw timesync.
