Ed's is cooler I think but I love this.
Had it for a couple of years now but decided I'd add a GPS module to it because the time drifted quite a bit and I like it to be accurate.
I think it looks like a bomb timer , the gps module just hanging out of it with a couple of LED's flashing makes it even more so.

Does GPS return a time was well as co-ordinates?

The time is used to calculate the co-ordinates.

Guessing you purchased it as a kit? Got a link?
Also, what GPS module are you using?

You have to build it yourself and you'll also get done for customs, end up not getting much change from £100.
GPS module is a SirfIIe I think, was just about the cheapest one I could find on ebay.

That is very cool.
I liked the ones in Eds thread that are like the old fashoined bulbs with "floating" numbers in them

Could certainly get in a lot of bother with it!
That is a very cool clock.

That's awesome.
Try and find one of those RC-XD's that HMV/Game were selling when black ops came out and attach it to that.
