KC7GOL that wants to get a GPS for use with APRS. He would also like to be able
to have a screen so that he can read the lat, long, and altitude. In addition he
would like to be able to use the same GPS for trips with maps loaded in it. He
would like to spend less than $200.00 for the GPS. Is there a GPS that would
meet these requirements? In stead of using the GPS for maps I think that he
should just use his laptop with one of the APRS programs loaded. Then connect
his GPS, Radio, TNC, and laptop all together and he would have everything that
he wants. Then the requirements for the GPS would be: NEMA output, and a screen
to read the lat, long, and altitude. This would reduce the price of the GPS
considerably. Now any recommendations on which GPS he should look at that might
even make it in under his $200.00 price range?</span></font></p>
