[aprssig] Nuvi 350 still on sale thru the end of Aug 09 WEB Only

[Kent Hufford]

Using the Agelent cable and a GARMIN 350, it will work also with a D700.

 

It will display all heard stations on the screen. HOWEVER, it will not
display them as real APRS ICONS like the G5, but will display the callsigns
and a dot. The G5 will display real APRS ICONS, because they are built into
the G5 software. Guess that is why it costs more $400+.

for GPS input. Charlie bought one, works on his D710. They also place the
location of the HEARD APRS station on the screen, just like the G5 ($600),
and update the current ICON, moving it as required.

Does the HEARD Station display function also work on the D-700A?
 
I already have the body of the D700 hidden in the back with a Trimble gps
module with home brewed rs-232 conversion also in the back of the car
It would be well worth pulling another cable up to the front of the car if I
could get heard stations on a gps screen at a price like this.
 
I also have an RS-232 cable running up front for my laptop to run UIView32
but that is not nearly as portable as a small gps unit such as thisfor
everyday use.  The AVMap is not something I care to spend that much on
(cheap ham syndrome.)
 
Tnx and 73'
