I've used GPS devices from Deluo and some real cheap ones from geeks.com
(under $40).
Some can be purchased with RS-232 capability, others come with USB. With
RS-232, you can
just read the /dev/TTYS0 or equivalent device (you'll need to extract the
data, usually
NMEA format). With USB, you'll need the appropriate USB-serial converter
driver compiled
into the kernel (maybe it can be done using libusb, I don't know).

Subject: [ts-7000] GPS in the TS-7260
I am interested in setting up a TS-7260 for asset tracking using GPS
and WiFi. I don't need high accuracy for the GPS, a few meters will
do fine.
What is the easiest/cheapest route to go for adding a GPS? A 'mouse'
type USB GPS with magnetic mount seems like the way to go as the PC/104
variety seem a little pricey by comparison.
Does anyone have an out-of-box experience with a GPS and TS-7260?
