GPS won't help with polar alignment...... but drift aligning and K3ccdtools will!

GPS benefits your goto by providing accurate location, but more importantly (in my experience) accurate time! This in turn improves the accuracy of gotos - at least for a CG-5 it does. If your mount keeps accurate time during the initial boot up and alignment sequences, then the benefit of GPS will be minimal, I would suggest...
