Can take the $GPWPL words from the output and input it into a Garmin GPS that will take a serial input. A GPS unit that just has a USB input will not interface. A Garmin Legend will work and a unit like a Garmin 60Cs which I think is OOP or a 60CsX that have both a serial and USB input will work. The APRS position reports get entered into the GPS' waypoint table and one can simply have the unit navigate to, to the position. Really a neat thing. I have directions for the three wire DB9 cable available. I think I posted them here if you look and do a search. Another thing is if the signal is lost the last known position stays on the map. When a new signal is acquired, the icon moves to the new spot. If a PicPac is accidentally shut off the lat/long is lost on the display. If one has it interfaced to a GPS, that is not a problem. If you don't get a PicPac, a Tiny Trak 4 can be modified with a display and do the same thing. Only problem with the TT4 is one can't simply plug the audio out from the radio earphone jack like could be done with the PicPac. Kurt Kurt
