My Garmin eTrex legend has stopped working properly. It turns on and acquires GPS coordinates, but after 15-30 minutes it will freeze and restart. I would love to harvest the GPS module from the unit for use in Arduino projects. Does anybody know if this is possible and, if so, where I might learn how to do this?
The antenna makes the GPS unit look very similar to this product for sale on the Sparkfun website:

I own two of these already. They have printed on them "1590R-A M". My eTrex legend's GPS module has printed on it "MS74 E". Here's a photo of it: http://www.blairkelly.ca/2012/07/26/garmin-gps/
Thanks for your time.
