[VHFcontesting] Maidenhead grid locating for Rovers, now GPS time sync...

Interesting information. I have a slightly different question.

My buddy bought a used TV ENG truck with a 40' pneumatic mast. $ 2,000 
for the working truck.

We are outfitting it to go roving, and I am putting emphasis on 6 meter 
grid hopping, both with e' skip, and particularly with MSK144. As such, 
the laptop needs to be time synced.
Is there a program that can take a hockey puck GPS appliance that we can 
have on the roof, and it keeps the laptop on time?
Looking more for an appliance operation, not interested in in taking the 
time for building an interface. (We have too many "gadgets" on board 
already.)

And yes, it is a geeky fun project with this van.
