Does any freedom respecting GPS hardware work? I've got a Garmin NuVi and it made me wonder if there was a worthwhile replacement. As far as offensive proprietary gear goes, this one is right up there with the worst.
It seems that the small, single-purpose, electronics industry doesn't have a lot of momentum behind it in terms of Free Software.
Thanks!
As far as I know, there are FLOSS GPS software alternatives, but no open source GPS hardware alternatives.
It might even be impossible, because maybe ALL satellites require some kind of "signature" from the hardware. A home made GPS might never work. But I don't know, if there is let me know :)
