  It's certainly overkilled as a timing reference.  Look at Garmin (who
makes a $99 OEM receiver although I do not know if it's got a 1 PPS
output), Canadian Marconi, Motorola, Ashtech, etc. which all make lower
cost GPS boards.  Look at http://www.navtechgps.com (note that they
generally have high prices) for some ideas.
