SDS100/SDS200: Handheld GPS direct connect to SDS100

[wilkie647hm]

I have a Garmin GPSMAP 64s handheld unit that has nema output via USB mini connection. Can this be used by hooking directly to the sds100? I have a USB 2.0 mini male to male that will connect the radio directly to the gps. GPS has its own power source and does output nema 4800 baud rate.

Probably - I used a GPS60 for a few years. Does it have any other output than the USB? On my 60 you had to use the 4 pole plug - It says it's NMEA 0183 compatible. FWIW - no idea on the exact method.
You will lprobably need this

Easier and cheaper to buy a separate GPS

The SDS100 only has USB ports.

Update:
1. I have tried USB mini direct from GPS to SDS100 set at 4800 baud.... no good.
2. I tried USB mini from GPS to standard USB with converter attachment down to USB port on radio, no good.
Both GPS and radio set to 4800 baud, same coordinates format, GPS output is 5 volts.

Any other suggestions?

The GPS port on the SDS100 use a serial RS232 signalling and not USB. You would have to go into your GPS receiver and take out a serial data signal and then feed that to the scanners GPS port.

SDS100/SDS200: - SDS200 using R8 radar detector GPS?

Does anyone know or have experience using the Uniden R8 radar detector as GPS source for SDS scanners? It would be nice if it does work just to keep more clutter off the dash.

As I said before - you will not get NMEA out of the 64 via USB. You will need this Serial Data/Power Cable | Garmin and roll your own cable into the USB,
