Actually the U-Blox receivers are perfectly fine.  The problem with these
units (as far as I can tell) is that you don't have any control over the
GPS (which is what I failed to make clear earlier) unless you can reverse
engineer the set-up code.  The serial port data on mine is transmit only.
Because of this I can't select the output strings or their format.  The
unit I have does emit the sats-in-view message but it's U-Blox binary (aka
UBX) not NMEA ascii which makes it a bit more difficult to parse.
