Ever tried a reradiating antenna to further separate the GPS from the
dangerous outside? Does such a solution have any technical drawbacks
wrt timing accuracy?
It might not be cheaper than to buy a new lowcost oem receiver board,
but if you want to protect hard to replace units it could be a
solution.
I have only used the "professional" type of kits like found here,

I know there is also a lower end market for use inside cars and the
like,
