There are Furuno GT-8031's and GT-8037's listed on Ebay for cheap-ish.  Tge 8031 is a small (around 1x1") module with an antenna pigtail with a H.FL connector on it.  The 8037 looks like a Motoroa M12 board with a MMCX connector.

Would these other modules be compatible with the controller and firmware
in the GPS-4? I wasn't sure if they all used the same commands and responses.
