I want to get into using GPS with my projects. Can someone please suggest a good, inexpensive GPS module to get started with?
I'm using PIC 16F uCs, and I code in assembly. I plan to really only need GPVTG (course over ground and ground speed) and GPGLL (Lat and Long). Is there a way to make the module stop sending all the other NMEA sentences -- I just don't won't to have to program ignoring the other ones.
How hard are these devices to initialize. I know I spent a while getting my asm program to properly initialize an RFM12B RF transceiver, but this looks much easier. It almost looks like as long as the module can see the sky and I have the PIC's UART working correctly, then I'll be seeing NMEA sentences. Is it really that easy?
