GPS in UK

Kaso · 08-06-2004

I've often read about people using GPS with NS, now i have no idea where to start with this, i've never seen a GPS unit on any computer store or anythings so my questions
1) Where can i buy a GPS unit in UK
2) Which work with NS + what software do i need as well
3) How much will it cost?

thanks

1. Ebay.co.uk
2. Any that can output in the NMEA format / None Unless its USB then it should come with drivers
3. Normally you can get one for $30-80, but being in expensive UK expect one to run around 100 GBP or more
