RE: HP-41 GPS Module - True or fiction?
There's no shortage of small capable GPS units, like this little one:

To quote the vendor

The GP-735 is a slim, ultra-high performance, easy to use GPS smart antenna receiver. With -162dBm tracking sensitivity and only 29 second cold start time, the GP735 is a tiny, yet powerful, piece of tech. The slim design makes it ideal for applications where you don’t have a lot of space to work in. Really it’s quite small.


At 35 x 8 x 6.5 mm, this can tolerate a 6V supply, but its TTL serial port has a 3.3V interface. Perhaps a battery-powered unit could be attached to the 41CL serial port using a proper level translator IC. Sort of an ultimate Time Module Smile

Now if only something like this could be squeezed into a tall module case!

Remember kids, "In a democracy, you get the government you deserve."
