[OCLUG-Tech] where in town can i get a USB GPS receiver?

  having never messed with GPS before, i'd like to pick up a decent
but inexpensive USB GPS receiver this weekend for linux
experimentation, but i have yet to find a place that sells same -- my
regular go-to of canada computers claims to have none.

  i can see where i can order one online:

and what little i know of GPS suggests i'd want something like the
GlobalSat BU-353 -- something that talks NMEA:

but i'm open to suggestions, especially where something can be
purchased in town.
