 Great straight-up gpsMar 23, 2010
By Debra Wood
"dreamstreamr"
Bought this for our truck's APRS ham radio. Selected this model for ease of connection, wired a db9 plug to a 1/8" stereo plug and connected the GPS 18PC to the Kenwood TM-D710a radio.
Turned on GPS fx in radio and bingo! GPS icon started flashing in corner of radio's faceplate and we're sending packets with our location data.
We decided to try it on the dash instead of rooftop for two reasons. The cable was just a little short to extend out to the roof and provide me the inside routing I wanted. And, our Garmin Nuvi has always worked from the dash without any problems. Sure enough, the GPS 18 PC has worked perfectly for two weeks sending location info to our ham radio.
We dissected the cigarette lighter plug and removed the spring and button, replaced them with a pair of wires to an Andersen power-pole connector. This maintains the 5.7 volts to the gps 18, and allows us to plug into the switched accessory supply we added to the truck.
This Garmin gps looks nice, does everything it's supposed to. No surprises, no problems, works perfectly for the job.

 GPS Unit for Scanner RadiosAug 06, 2011
By Ray Keske
Bought the Garmin 18x PC GPS unit to hook to my Uniden Scanner to allow it to turn on and off Systems as I travele across the country. Works great and I have mounted it inside the dash cavity out of sight of prying eyes and this allows me to not have to worry about taking it in or out of the car daily.

They workJul 14, 2009
By Cleatus
Didnt get em from Amazon, but they do the trick. The serial port way is a bit dated...but its what our systems needed.
If you connect these to your PC, and the mouse starts jumping around- unplug the gps power and it will come back- go to device manager, mice and ponting devices- it shows up in there as Microsoft serial ballpoint. disable this and plug it back in- should work.

Much improvedOct 09, 2009
By Larry Ellis
This unit is MUCH improved from its predecessor, the GPS 18. This unit is 100 times more sensitive than the GPS 18. I use it inside my home for setting the time on my PC.
The old model seldom locked more than 3-5 satellites and frequently could not even get 2. This newer model locked 8 at first try, all with good signal strength. I've almost never noticed it fail to get a fix indoors (it happened only once, for a very brief period of time).
Well worth throwing the old unit out and replacing it with this one!
