Thanks to all of you who gave me suggestions. For only a test, I would think only a PC connection plus software would be needed. The ! PPS output would only be useful if I could use the units as a timing module, which I do not think is correct for the Garmins I have been looking at? Ronald

The regular model "15," which is cheaper, does not have WAAS.
