Hi

If all you want is a "something" locked to a GPS:

Take the pps from the GPS and hook it to an AD9548. You probably will need a 50 cent CPU to set up the registers.  No muss, no fuss,  nothing to invent or design.

Weather it does what you need to do is an entirely different question. Without a defined objective / need / performance goal this could go on for a couple hundred years…..
