I would like to hookup a GPS receiver to my Pi so that I can:


Get my geographical position 
Synchronise clock when not connected to network


What are my options? Will any hardware supported by gpsd work with the Pi?


Question: What to do when you are suspicious about numerical results in a submitted manuscript that you are reviewing?
Answer: Complementing the other answers, either in addition to, or apart from, asking for the codes and running them yourself, I don't think it is a bad idea to explicitly ask the authors, something like this:


  The standard algorithms for executing (bla bla bla), e.g. as followed in the works of Refs. [1-3] (feed these in), are suggestive of a standard accuracy in typical algorithms. The current work appears to have bettered the same, which is a strong point in favor of publication. However, the authors should include a comment in the manuscript, mentioning what changes have they implemented to the typical algorithms so highly prevalent, which leads to this enhanced accuracy. 


My jargon may have to be twisted a bit here, but I think I convey the point. 

This being a query in the referee report, the authors shall be obligated to feed in the details, and if there is some manipulation involved, it may end up being exposed.

Hope that helps :)
