Of course you don't get "centimeter accurate", but that's a lie anyway, so nothing lost.
- beagle3 13y agoGPS mouse? Unless you mean module (DYAC), can you please give a pointer?
- danpat 13y agoHere's one: http://www.royaltek.com/index.php/rgm-3600 http://www.royaltek.com/index.php/rgm-3600 There are dozens of variants, some with USB, some with RS232, some with bluetooth. "Mouse" is common nomenclature for this kind of device, I don't know why. Basically, they all deliver continuous NMEA data over a serial line.

It merely outputs position data to a laptop, cell phone, etc.
