I don't know that Mark's antenna is the right kind of thing for GPS. 
the x-pol off axis is pretty high and the construction is dependent on 
having the right materials around.  You could probably use a HDPE 
cutting board instead of teflon and some other foam.

If you want gain in the vertical direction, why not a stacked patch with 
air dielectric?

Mark's antenna in the article was eventually intended to be for a
"phased array at the focus of a reflector/reflectarray" application in 
space, so fabrication of a stack was more appropriate.
