    Both DroidPlanner and Mission Planner already support that.

      It really does not matter on what type of GPS you are using. Different GPSes just gives more or less accurate location information.

      Your GPS most likelt works but as it uses older MediaTEK GPS, it's accuracy is about 10meters and you should not put to too close to the computer. Use extension cable to put is high top of everything at your GCS. That way GPS has best view to all the satellites in it's field of view.

      And as our project did use same MediaTEK GPSes earlier, we do have direct support for it.
