What is the easiest way to prototype smaller GPS modules? Such as the one currently on the homepage without buying an expensive eval board?

Is there a socket type available? Or am I stuck doing a surface mount or soldering each pin individually?

Sorry for the newbieish question.

Thanks in advance.

Just design a PCB for it. Soldering that type of chip isn’t difficult.
