Tips and questions relating to the GPS modules from SFE

Hi,

I am looking to integrate GPS in to the AR.Drone Quadrocopter and with the U-Blox NEO-6P with PPP I thought I had found the ideal solution. As this is a one-off build then I am finding all but impossible to source this product. I intend to fuze the GPS data with that from the inbuilt IMU to give sub 20cm accuracy over a 15 min flight using a number of data fusion algorithms implemented in the open source software.

Does anyone know of an alternative to the NEO-6P that meets the following requirements but is readily available in the UK (in theory a development board would be better and easier to integrate but must be small and light):

Small size, low power but sub 1m accuracy. UART and or USB connectivity. SBAS with PPP preferably. I can add an active external patch antenna.

Grateful for any help.

Unfortunately, these products are outside of my price range. I was looking to build my own board with USB.

Thanks for the reply, I am now looking for another SBAS alternative as I cannot source the 6P.
