Garmin GPS 18 GPS Sensor for OEM Clients (PC/Serial Interface)

From the Manufacturer
The GPS 18 is a GPS sensor targeted to OEM clients for use in automotive, fleet vehicle, and electronics applications in which a small, highly accurate GPS receiver is needed. This 12-parallel-channel, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver comes with a CMOS-level serial and an integrated magnetic base. The puck-like receiver is 2.4 inches in diameter and weighs only a few ounces, making it an ideal solution for applications where space is at a premium.

The GPS 18 comes in three different cable configurations: A-style USB; DB-9 pin serial with 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter (PC); or bare wire (LVC). The PC and LVC versions both default to output data in the industry-standard NMEA 0183 data format, but users may also program it to output data in the Garmin proprietary format, while the USB version produces data only in the Garmin proprietary format. All three versions of the GPS 18 come complete with non-volatile memory for storage of configuration information, a real-time clock, and raw measurement output data for sophisticated customer applications.

works great.......2007-05-13

I purchased this product for use with a uniden BCT15 gps enabled scanner. It aquires signal fast, even without a clear "view" of the sky. I mounted the gps sensor concealed under the dash, and have never had a prblem with loss of signal. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a good, reliable gps input signal.

A great item for a Uniden scanner.......2007-02-07

This item was bought for the primary purpose of working in conjunction with the Uniden BCD996T mobile scanner. The scanner has the capability of monitoring statewide trunking radio sites. The Garmin GPS 18 operates by opening and closing statewide trunking radio cellsites, with the use of Long and Lat coordinates. This item is very effective for it's purpose and is highly recommended for those who'll use it for this purpose.

using it with a pocketPC and mapoplolis.......2007-01-02

I use this with a couple different pocketPC's and love it. Combined with mapopolis it makes the best address level routing device that I've used outside of a dedicated routing GPS. I've got it hard wired into my jeep with a powered ipaq cradle mounted to the dash and the convenience of using it couldn't be easier.

Works with everything. Great performance........2006-05-09

I prefer the PC version over the USB because of it's compatibility with everything. Even thought I don't have a serial port in my laptop I actually got a USB-to-Serial converter just to use the GPS18 PC.

Make sure to configure the unit's baud speed by using Garmin's configuration software. It originally comes working at 4800 but it supports 38400. 4800 is too slow to get updated location data and may cause the movement in GPS navigation software to lag.

Excellent performance, good value........2005-03-12

I found this GPS receiver while looking for a GPS to use in a home-built radio position beaconing system (Ham radio APRS for those of you who know what that is). I found the GPS 18 with cigarette lighter adapter and DB-9 serial interface. This GPS was quite literally plug-&-play. I supplied it power using the power connector and plugged the DB9 into my computer terminal, placed the GPS in the open, and a few moments later it was streaming NMEA 0183 position data to my computer. I didn't need to configure anything, no software required. The GPS works well connected to software such as TOPO to provide real time position tracking on your computer, and can also be easily connected to packet modems/TNCs/TinyTrak modules for APRS purposes. The magnet is a little weak, but the unit is light enough that it generally won't be a big issue. The connectors on the ends can be easily cut off for direct connection to a power source or your own homebrew NMEA device. However, you can also buy it with bare ended cables if you are looking to directly connect it to something.

GPS is quick to lock-on, and precise. Has worked like a charm for me. I'm almost certainly going to buy another one soon to use on a semipermanent basis in my truck.
