Reviews Summary for Green Light Labs GPS-710
Green Light Labs GPS-710 Reviews: 12 Average rating: 5.0/5 MSRP: $(missing—add MSRP)
Description: The GPS-710 is a custom built, uncluttered, plug-and-play solution for adding a stand-alone GPS to your Kenwood TM-D710 or RC710 radios. It uses a top-notch 20 channel SiRF-III GPS chipset (with WAAS, ENGOS, and MSAS augmentation) that can acquire GPS lock from a cold start in well under 60 seconds. The active internal antenna has proven itself in prototyping and beta testing to maintain GPS lock, even in very unfavorable placements. The GPS-710 pulls about 40mA of power from the line, and while this peripheral hasn't been approved by Kenwood, it should be well within the operational limits of the TX/RX Base.

Excellent product  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
I replaced a Garmin GPS-18 with the GPS-710. The Garmin worked fine but the GPS-710 is much better. Installation was VERY easy. The unit locks on to a valid position in about 1 minute from a cold start and in a few seconds from a warm start.

EASY SETUP!  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
WOW, FAST SHIPPING.

EASY EASY EASY SETUP!

This thing locks up very quick.

I took my panel, set it under the seat to test the internal antenna of the GPS-710, it locked right up and I was on findu with no problems!.

Simple and does exactly what you need. Do not waste your time looking for a "compatible" GPS, THIS IS THE ONE!
