Maybe, it is time to create an OpenGPS? Please, let me know if you know how to build one using RPi or something similar.

Making an OpenSource GPS is technically challenging. For an idea of what is involved see: http://www.aholme.co.uk/GPS/Main.htm

Here are some other similar projects: http://sdrgps.blogspot.com/ https://github.com/hahnpv/gr-gps https://github.com/hahnpv/SoftGNSS

Personally I would rather buy a $10 modules off eBay or a Chinese website which provides the GPS data in a standard NMEA serial stream.

OMG, now I see why we are so dependent even for old technology, and I now understand the great success of Arduino.
