[kismac] gps hardware

I've been considering adding a gps receiver to my collection. I don't  
have a lot of cash nor the want to go and get the best of the best but  
I don't believe in wasting my money on really cheep equipment. That  
being said I'd like something that will work with both my pc and mac  
(USB is a good idea) and support a good standard that's widely used. (I  
say all this not knowing a thing about USB gps receivers)

I took a quick look on ebay and found this.

Don't bother clicking on the link unless you want to buy it (then let  
me know and I'll bid on one of the other ones listed) the only useful  
specks (in terms of compatibility) I'll copy right below.

Output   Message:
NMEA0183 protocol, and supports command:                              
GGA, GSA, GSV, RMC, GLL, VTG

This alright? I doubt its a wonderful pice of hardware but it looks  
alright for the price (about 35 bucks).

Anyway tell me what you think, and tell me if I'm making a big mistake  
and if I should go and buy something else.

P.S. Ohh and while I haven't had time to download every release I have  
to say its nice knowing that kismac gets better with every one. Keep up  
the good work.
