The Ublox modules (at least some of them) can support an external oscillator and have messages for controlling oscillator parameters and disciplining.
This is actually done. But you need to design the GPS receiver from the
ground up to use a very high quality oscillator. The Thunderbolt is an
example of this. It has a 10MHz OCXO used as the internal clock.
Interested to know if anyone has done this with a ublox receiver, I
spotted the option in some of the technical documents and went as far as
finding a stockist for the external DAC I think it'd need.
