<p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Here is another chance to buy a good screen
GPS($109) that talks to you, AND<br>
with the AGulant GTRANS (GARMIN USB to SERIAL PIC) cable ($49) will provide<br>
GPS data to all Kenwood APRS radios that use the Serial 3/32 Stereo cable<br>
for GPS input. Charlie bought one, works on his D710. They also place the<br>
location of the HEARD APRS station on the screen, just like the G5 ($600),<br>
and update the current ICON, moving it as required.<br>
<br>
They will work with the DSTAR radios that use the same 3/32 Stereo Serial<br>
GPS input and will work with "any 3rd Party GPS"<sic>. HOWEVER,
you have to make a null modem adapter, switching the tip and ring.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Anyway, a good GPS at a GREAT price, even if
you don't by the Agulant cable and do APRS GPS.<br>

<p>To answer your question, no, the others don't work quite right.<br>
There's a list of tested units here:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.argentdata.com/index.php?title=Garmin_FMI">http://wiki.argentdata.com/index.php?title=Garmin_FMI</a><br>
The important columns are Displays Waypoints and Makes Duplicates. The<br>
350 is the only model that doesn't create a duplicate waypoint when a<br>
station moves, leaving a breadcrumb of waypoints. <span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
