GPS 18 PC PRODUCT DETAILS
Back to Top
The GPS 18 is a GPS sensor targeted to OEM clients for use in automotive, fleet vehicle, and electronics applications where a small, highly accurate GPS receiver is needed.
This 12-parallel-channel, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver is available in either asynchronous serial or USB 2.0 versions, and comes with an integrated magnetic base. The puck-like receiver is 2.4 inches in diameter and weighs just 3.5 ounces, making it an ideal solution in applications where space is at a premium.
The GPS 18 is offered 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 may also be user programmed to output data in the GARMIN proprietary format. The
USB version
produces data
ONLY
in the GARMIN proprietary format. This means that the OEM 18 USB can only function with the Garmin mapping software on a computer. A pre-bundled package is available which contains the
OEM 18 USB and the Garmin City Select USA Software
.
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. The LVC version additionally provides a pulse-per-second logic level output whose rising edge is aligned to the UTC second within 1 microsecond. The USB 2.0 full-speed version of the GPS18 is also compatible with USB 1.1 full-speed hosts.
Garmin OEM18 PC Part Number Update:
This item was formally part number 010-00321-04. When Garmin upgraded the unit to become
RoHS compliant
, the part number was changed to 010-00321-54.

I've been using my GPS-18 since July 2004 for my APRS beacon. Still working good after a year of constant use. This is a cool unit to have for this type of use.

I just received my GPS18PC from GPSCity. Came by Fedex. I purchased it to replace the Garmin Etrex I have connected to my Kenwood D700A. I plugged the GPS18PC into the same cable I had connected to the Etrex. Then plugged in the supplied cigar plug. Gave it a few seconds to get organized. Turned on the D700A and immediately I saw the GPS light blink on the D700. Works great! I recommend the GPS18PC to everyone!

GPS 18 PC USER TIPS (Courtesy of GPS City)
Back to Top
Very Important Note:
The OEM 18 GPS Series all require different input voltages (see list below):
•
18 USB
: 4.4 - 5.5 Vdc
•
18 PC
: 8 - 30* Vdc (Automotive supply from cigarette lighter jack)
•
18 LVC
: 4.0 - 5.5 Vdc
* It should be noted that the OEM 18 PC unit has a cigarette lighter adapter end that converts the 12V DC (from the cigarette lighter power source) to the input voltage required by the GPS unit. If you remove the cigarette lighter end and then hard wire the GPS to the 12V power source, you
WILL
burn out the unit.
