Almost all GPSes with the ability to connect via serial or USB can be configured to send NMEA data. This is just an ASCII string of data sent with a known configuration at a certain period.
I would see if the USB based <$40 devices can be made to work with this. Something like [ame]http://www.amazon.com/GPS-Waterproof-Receiver-Enabled-indicator/dp/B003YUF0GC/ref=sr_1_1?s=gps&srs=3029826011&ie=UTF8&qid=1344611633&sr=1-1[/ame]
For $34, if you can get it to work, then you are done for cheap. If not, return to Amazon. If you get that and need help configuring, let me know. We could meet somewhere and try to get it to work.
Looks like this page has drivers for that GPS if they aren't included: http://www.canadagps.com/BU-353spec.html
FYI - The Motorola M12+ was the latest and greatest GPS chipset.... In 2003. Everything I'm seeing on these two platforms are actually board level devices, rather than end user products. I believe it is Oncore GT+, rather than Encore. This is a board used for drones and other things.
