Cable time offset is in basically all GPSes. An awful lot of GPS

A side effect of figuring out where you are is figuring out when you are
there.
There are 4 unknowns: X, Y, Z, T, so you need 4 equations. You g

It's standard in GPSDOs. It requires special firmware in the GPS unit.

Another option is a "low end" laptop.
I use a Dell D400 laptop, with a 1.8GHz Pentium M and it draws about 20W from

In my experience (which is admittedly less than that of many others here) the
time reported is that of the PPS pulse that just happened, and the
documentation usually bears that out. There's a real-time clock running inside
the receiver that is synchronized to the PPS. At the top of the second,

The time when the names sentence was sent is the time in the sentence.. The pps

Just one further question.
When the pps input triggers, so my linux box knows a second has just
ticked; is the time of that second the one the NMEA sentence has just
sent, or will send next?
Or to put it another way, when I receive an NMEA sentence is this the
current time (as was when the s
