It's tempting to forget about another development program & just put a bag of these super cheap components into a scale model UAV, focusing on the scale modeling part instead of the technology. Unfortunately the ning search engine can't find this page from ublox searches.
"This one needs to be surface mounted to a PCB, so you'd have to design a board from scratch to use it."
I disagree with your opinion, because you can solder wires to the pads. So you don't need extra PCB, and is easier to do this compared to gs406 for less experience people.
That's the core of the module we'll be offering in a few weeks with the ArduPilot uBlox adapter. But ours is like the Sparkfun one, which has a protective case. This one needs to be surface mounted to a PCB, so you'd have to design a board from scratch to use it.
