If your existing method works well then you probably don't need the GPS
system. With GPS timing one can get a few milliseconds of accuracy, with
WWVB the accuracy is around +-20 ms and it can very with reception.

No, with GPS SDR still uses a 1 ms (or 500 us at high SPS rates and number
of channels) interrupt.

If you don't have a handheld GPS receiver one can also use the
receiver/interface board to do a site survey of you sensor using WinONCORE
or TAC32 (http://www.cnssys.com/cnsclock/Tac32Software.html).
