I used to hack gps receivers for a company that worked on
ionospheric/atmospheric modeling.  You can usually get the raw data
you want (e.g. ephemeris frames) through a published binary protocol.

I'd look it up right now, but the manufacturer's website only has it
in windows help file format.  Ew.
