Am i mistaking or under the BuildIt page, the pricelist of parts total upto around $100... are there already GPS trackers available that are less than $60? So why spend a $100 and build one when you can get one for $60?

30 second intervals? 9 meter resolution? I guess that's okay if you're walking around.Does anyone have any suggestions for a better receiver? I have a pet project that I'm thinking about using GPS tracking for, but I need good resolution on it. Must be accurate to less than a foot. It has to be cheap too.

Why don't just use a real GPS tracker? Something like that for example <a class="user" href="http://www.gpsconnect.ca/catalog/product/S911-RED.aspx">http://www.gpsconnect.ca/catalog/product/S911-RED. ...</a>
