As I said in my first post I'd like to achieve an accuracy of better
than 100ns - or 50ns if possible at reasonable cost.
I had come across the Ublox 6M when I was looking earlier, but I
misunderstood the data sheet and thought it was only the expensive
($135) LEA/NEO-6T versions which provided timing. Definitely worth a
closer look - the NEO-6M is specced at 30ns RMS which is good enough.
The power consumption is a little higher than I would have liked at
37mA/3V, but still rather less than others.
Thanks,
Tony
