    Is there a specific piece of information you are looking for?

    The GPS 18x 5Hz is an OEM high-sensitivity GPS sensor for use in machine control, guidance and agricultural applications that require 5 Hz position and velocity reports from a small, highly accurate GPS receiver.

    Use in Small Spaces

    This high-sensitivity, 12-parallel-channel, WAAS-enabled GPS comes with an integrated magnetic base for easy mounting. The puck-like receiver is 2.4" (6.1 cm) in diameter and weighs just a few ounces, making it an ideal solution for applications where space is at a premium.

    Get Precise Position Data

    The GPS 18x 5Hz stores configuration information in non-volatile memory so it starts up quickly each time you use it. It also has a real-time clock and raw measurement output data for sophisticated, high-precision dynamic applications. For extra precision, it offers 5 Hz Measurement Pulse Output with rising edges that align to precise 0.2 second increments of UTC time, as long as the receiver has reported a valid and accurate position during the past 4 seconds.

    The GPS 18x 5Hz is a high-sensitivity GPS sensor that replaces the GPS 18 5Hz.

    That's what I was looking for...... There is no product description on the web site other than the price. I was curious to see if it was WAAS enabled.

    On the other hand, a magnetic base?? Any way to take out the magnets? I assume that the puck is meant to set on the glareshield and not be externally mounted.

    I have heard of guys removing the magnets though I don't think the newest models have magnets in them.

    I don't know what "newest models" are, but I received my GPS18x-5Hz a year ago and it has magnets.

    I'll have to test one out to see if they are still in there.

    Just bought one about a month ago and it had magnets. It was not hard to remove them with the soldering iron method.

    Bill,

    Please elaborate on the "soldering iron" method for the uninformed.

    thanks,

    I think Bill is referring to this method by Chris Welsh, illustrated on vansairforce.com (scroll down to post 10): http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...ght=gps+garmin
    Inspired by Chris' method, I removed mine surgically, without using heat.
