You are welcome..I bought the Uniden GPS puck for my HomePatrol, I'm amazed how sensitive it is (picked up most of the satellites while inside my house). I've used it with my laptop and a GPS program (VisualGPS) to verify some lat/long location questions. Also using the puck with Vistumbler to map some of the wifi access points in the area. Only issue I have is the external power connection (cigarette lighter plug) which ends up with cables strung all over....

I have several of the 996 radios in my truck and one is totally GPS driven. It's really sweet once you fine tune the boundaries. The Garmin puck works very well. In my Ford truck there's a little tray in the center on the dash. I open in up and mag mounted the puck to a support member and fished the coax down the backside of the dash. it see right through the plastic dash./tray and it's completely hidden.

Truthfully I thought I'd never use the GPS function but I love it!
