Yeah I understood you can access them via a serial port, but then I have to
write my own interpreter of NMEA0183. And I thought if I could allready use
that code from someone else: that would make my life a lot easier. And I
wouldnt have to deal with some GPS modules that would give 'strange' results
(mabye), because the component could allready take care of that.

You didn't find any strange non standard behaviour in your working with the
GPS?
