I usually see mention of others connecting a complex chart plotter to the DSC radio, but I don't recall seeing anyone doing this to a handheld GPS. I have the Garmin eTrex Venture and it works great for my purposes. My GPS manual says that it "Supports the input and output of standard NMEA 0183 version 3.0 data". I should be able to connect this handheld GPS to the radio with the correct data cable. Finding the data cable may be tricky. For what I do on the water a simple handheld is good enough, but I would like to connect it to my new VHF radio. So does anyone use a handheld GPS with their DSC radio?
