For those of you looking for a relatively inexpensive OSD you might want to consider the remzibi OSD.
There is a thread on RCGroups that fully documents the remzibi OSD and it can be found here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=921467
HappyKillmore has integrated the remzibi OSD with the Ardupilot and that thread on RCGroups can be found here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1102975
There have been some problems using the GPS that comes with the remzibi OSD with the Ardupilot, but Jordi and Happy are working on a solution.

I've been looking around but I can't seem to find any info regarding a ground station based OSD. i.e. transmitting the APM data to the ground station via xbee and then through an OSD to the video feed on the ground. My thoughts are that this may serve as a little bit of security should the video feed go bad, you would still have OSD to guide you until the video came good.
I just got one! works great! 5Hz 38400 baud GPS and all!
Thanks !
I also shared the RX of the GPS with a NewSoftSerial port on an arduino at the same time. ((set the _NewSS_MAX_RX_BUFF to 256 in NewSoftSerial.h to get correct GGA and FMC NMEA sentences used by Remizbi OSD)) (thanks M Luckham)

How can this be achieved?
