The timing wobble on data from the serial port is just a firmware
quirk/bug/feature.  Take your pick.

The wobble on the Venus is 60nS because the clock on the Venus is 16.667Mhz

I have multiple Skytraq chips and using a scope all the PPS rising edges will be aligned to less than 100nS.   It may be better but I don't have a super scope and that is pushing the bandwidth.

But for 40 Euros there's http://shop.8devices.com/carambola-bundle with TWO hardware UARTS port and GPIOs - wireless and ethernet and openwrt.
