Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Any serial GPS that outputs the standard NMEA sentences should do.

Composite has to match the number of lines that the monitor expects so the resolution was set by the composite standard PAL or NTSC.
VGA is also a standard and it is unfortunate that they are different but thats the way it is.
You probably could change the bit rate to get a different number of pixels per line but that would upset the aspect ratio too much.
