[MLB-WIRELESS] Choosing GPS

All GPS receivers with a display can do that - that's their purpose....
GPS receivers without a display usually just connect to a PC of some sort to
let it do the calculations.
Depending what purpose you want to use it for, the cheapest consumer GPS
will do - even a used one form eBay. Just be aware that some early 8 and
less channel GPS had a speed limit of around 180km/hr. In those days their
processors were not fast enough to deal with the information received fast
enough.
Cheers,
Joe
