    Waste ???? You could always use Self-powered USB Hub and expand USB ports. USB GPS module is indeed the best choice. – Sufiyan Ghori Oct 23 '13 at 07:34
  • I moved my answer to http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/547/how-do-i-attach-a-gps-receiver/10268#10268 as it is better suited there. Since this question will most likely be closed, removed, shredded and forgot about. – Piotr Kula Oct 23 '13 at 09:52
  • It's unclear how what you're asking is different from this question. If you'd like to reopen the question, please edit it to clarify what you're asking. – ramblinjan Oct 23 '13 at 15:38

    A suggestion--if you're asking if there's a way to use a GPS module not hooked up through a USB port, change the question to reflect that. – ramblinjan Oct 23 '13 at 15:39

You should buy a GPS module that have serial (UART) interface. Then you can connect the GPS module to Raspberry Pi through GPIO pins. There is a blog about 3DR GPS module at http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/how-to-connect-3dr-gps-ublox-to-raspberry-pi
