1Waste ???? You could always use Self-powered USB Hub and expand USB ports. USB GPS module is indeed the best choice.– Sufiyan GhoriCommented Oct 23, 2013 at 7:34

I moved my answer to raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/547/… as it is better suited there. Since this question will most likely be closed, removed, shredded and forgot about.– Piotr KulaCommented Oct 23, 2013 at 9:52

1A 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.– ramblinjanCommented Oct 23, 2013 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
