Tom,

Many ( but not all) of the Garmin units display Maidenhead grid squares.  I
use a (now disontinued) Garmin GPS III which works very well.  It appears
that, in general, Garmin's hiker and general purpose GPS models do grid
squares, while their "navigators" for automotive use don't.

My suggestion is to go to garmin.com where you can download the instruction
manuals and search for "Maidenhead" or "location format".

Another option that I found works well for iPhone users is the free
"Maidenhead Converter" app which takes your current location from the
phone's GPS and displays your grid square.
