As I said in my first post I'd like to achieve an accuracy of better 
than 100ns - or 50ns if possible at reasonable cost.

I had come across the Ublox 6M when I was looking earlier, but I 
misunderstood the data sheet and thought it was only the expensive 
($135) LEA/NEO-6T versions which provided timing. Definitely worth a 
closer look - the NEO-6M is specced at 30ns RMS which is good enough. 
The power consumption is a little higher than I would have liked  at 
37mA/3V, but still rather less than others.

Thanks,
       Tony
