Yeah, you have to be patient, like most things where you save lots of money.
I have bought many things through aliexpress, and its all good, very good to work with them. Everything is well tracked. I have saved at least 50% this way.

These have USB interfaces, so no, not what you need.

That is an antenna only, not the full GPS.

Here is a marine one. $17
This is 12vdc, the black shield wire you leave unconnected, it is electrically the same as the small black wire. You crimp a terminal on it and secure the cable with a screw for extra yanking support.

I can't get that link to work

@Kropdad: If you will answer my questions in post #12 I will find the part for you.
