Re: Low cost GPS receiver?

Pretty much any of the GPS receivers we mentioned would work on a raspberry pi plugged in with dupont jumpers.

You can get level shifters with DB9 connectors for about the same price as a GPS module.

This one even has pins and dupont jumpers

And then you power the gps receiver over usb but ignore the native ublox serial port.

Gary, once an year, I ask for this, often on this list.

The "problem" I see with most modules like these is the UART voltage. (Nearly) all are designed for Aurdino, so they work on 3.3V (TTL?) logic. I think HAL would like to plug this into an RS-232 port in a "server", so he needs the +12/-12V signals.

I don't see those products under $200 :-(

Ebay has many under $10:

Try to avoid anything older than u-blox 8.
