FORMAT ISSUES
Turns out this GPS does not output a format that I needed, so it it useless to me. If it is a Garmin, I am sure it works great, but I will never know.

VERY FAST OEM GPS
Pros: fast to aquire, small, has a builtin magnet
Cons: cig lighter plug not removeable easy
The new 18x is very fast to aquire, very acurate with WASS. Very easy to setup fo use on HAM APRS or the new Uniden Scanner HP-1. The price is hard to beat. This is a true RS-232 serial port GPS. It is also a 5vdc GPS, which Garmin has solved by putting a Cig lighter 12vdc adapter on the end. DO NOT CUT OFF THE CIG LIGHTER ADAPTER AND PLUG INTO 12VDC DIRECT. YOU WILL BURN OUT THE GPS.

GOOD SERIAL CONNECTION GPS
Pros: simple to connect
Cons: requires a seperate power connection
Attempts to use a USB Connection with Geomedia, and Vista did not work. This Serial connection GPS solved the problem.

While the accuracy of the Garmin 18X-PC is very good, there are some issues that need resolved with the auto (cigarette lighter) adapter/power converter plug. It is slightly undersized in diameter for most all female receptacles. Then when vibrations occur the power to the GPS unit is interrupted and it shuts off the GPS/GIS software. (I'm using mine on an ATV for mapping.) It took several days to figure this out.
