the safest thing to do.<br>
<br>
OTOH, I just checked eBay and they have Garmin 60CS going for about $200.00.
For road, turn-by-turn navigation you'll need City Navigator and perhaps an
external antenna.<br>
<br>
I'm using a 60CS in my truck for APRS and it even displays the location of the
stations received on a color screen. Memory is limited to 64 megs so if
planning long trips you may need to reload maps from a laptop but in state,
that is enough.<br>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'> I’ve
got a friend 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>
