          Appeal No. 96-2990                                                          
          Application 08/109,046                                                      



               Claims 1 to 18 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  In               
          a first rejection, the examiner relies upon Zibrik in view of               
          Lidz and in the second rejection, Olson in view of Maroun.                  
               Rather than repeat the positions of the appellant and the              
          examiner, reference is made to the Brief and the Answer for                 
          the respective details thereof.                                             


                                       OPINION                                        
               Generally for the reasons presented by appellant in the                
          Brief, we reverse each of the respective rejections of the                  
          claims on appeal.                                                           
               As to the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 102, we note that                
          Zibrik does not teach the claimed GPS receiver engine, nor                  
          does it teach the claimed GPS antenna.  As such, Zibrik fails               
          to meet the other limitations of independent claim 1 on appeal              
          relating to a housing enclosing the GPS receiver engine and                 
          the GPS antenna electrically connected to that receiver engine              
          and being mountable in the housing in a particular movable                  
          arrangement.                                                                



                                          3
