Replacement:GPS-10922. The Copernicus GPS module is EOL and has been replaced by the Copernicus II. This page is for reference only.
Don't let the 12-channel tag fool you. This new, thinner, smaller, faster, more sensitive GPS receiver from Trimble is something to be reckoned with. The Copernicus module (pictured here on a US quarter) features the new TrimCore Trimble firmware reducing power consumption and time-to-lock.

can be hand soldered? this is BGA!
Yes, it's not too bad actually.
This is not a BGA component.
breakout board listed below? Where is it??
It is labelled as a DIP Module.
does the tx pin give you raw data (E.G: N 40°12.108, W 105°17.097)?
This module outputs NMEA messages which contain the data you're asking about (in a different format but it's ASCII). It will also provide the latitude and longitude formatted as double precision floating point numbers.
I have create a video,Arduino GPS Tutorial, on how to extract the latitude and longitude from NMEA messages using the TinyGPS library. You don't even have to worry about what NMEA is with this library, it's easy to use.
