The GPS MUST have a serial connection.<br>
The GPS MUST have at least NMEA out.<br>
<br>
Seems simple. Well here are a few curve balls. I just connected a
Garmin Foretrex to my TH-D7AG. The manual said it only has NMEA out.
Wrong, it has NMEA in too as it does display the location of APRS
stations.<br>
<br>
I know the older eTrax units have a serial connection. OTOH, their
receiver is quite weak and might not work well even on the dashboard of
your vehicle.<br>
<br>
Now I've heard a lot of good about the Garmin 18 PC (NOT the USB
version). No display, mag mounted and has cigarette lighter power cord
and serial cord.<br>
<br>
Or get something more expensive like the Garmin 60Cx and let it do your
road navigation too. This is a really superb unit, but if used for APRS
only, this is quite an overkill.<br>

regular eTrex will work just fine. Some of the higher-end eTrex models
do not have a serial connection. They have a USB connection. They
will probably not work. I have the plain yellow eTrex and it works
fine with my TH-D7A(G). It should also work with the D700.

Ok folks - I hope I don't get flamed for this. The question has
probably been asked many times before.
<br>
I just purchased a D700 and love it. Now I want to connect a GPS unit
to show my position. I called the local candy store about a Garmin
eTrex. I thought it might be a good start. The guy said it won't work
with the D700? I know a couple of other guys that are using them.
However, maybe they are older units? I'm not sure?
<br>
Does anyone have any ideas? Any suggestions would be appreciated. If
you do not want to tie up the reflector - please e-mail me directly:
