Please excuse my ignorance but I have been itching to ask this question/s for some time nowWhy does Ardupilot and bills development board both specify EM 406 GPS receivers? I have been looking at what is available and there is quite a lot on offer.Would the 32channel LS-20031 be a better bet?I like the look of the omni directional antenna on the 50channel GS-406.Does more channels amount to better performance? Would an omni directional antenna be better than the standard pach?I would appreciate your comments

The EM406 is rock solid, inexpensive and entirely sufficient for a good autopilot. But as stated right on the ArduPilot home page, we also support the LS-200031 via an optional 3.3v daughterboard if you want a 5Hz module. Basically you can use any GPS you want, as long as it produces standard NMEA data.
