Some of you all have GPS-capable scanners. The eBay fairy just brought me a '996XT. Plan is to pull out the CD in the car (leaving the AM/FM/WB radio) and replacing it with the 996.
What I need to know is this: have any of you actually hooked up a GPS? How did you set the parameters for each system? Radio site lat/lon? I'd LOVE to be able to cruise around the state (not that I do that much) and have the radio enable/disable the correct OKWIN towers, and other things, as I go.
Also, what kind of GPS did you use? I'm thinking of one of those Garmin pucks (12 V and serial and no display) but plan to make certain that my Garmin nuvi does *not* work with it first (I don't think it spits NMEA-0183 out it's port).
