I have several questions about how to use GPS and a digital compass for robotics.
**broken link removed**
I have a Trimble, Lassen SK II GPS module. I am considering buying this antenna for it **broken link removed**. The antenna is 5m long, which is more than I need. What do I do with the excess cabling? I don't have a connector and crimper to cut the cable down. Is it OK to coil up the excess cable? How should the the antenna be mounted? Does it have to be on a pole above the robot?
