Brian, 

You may want to checkout the Kenwood D710ga. I had the earlier version and used it for 10 + years. Great aprs radio setup.  On mine you could have the display give full gps data, but I do not recall if it was 4 or 6 digit grid reporting.

You could check the specs or manual from Kenwood for the actual specs.

PS - I sold mine at Dayton earlier this year.  Bummer, I would have loaned it to you.

I want this information while driving with a simple screen and large text. I won?t use one that requires phone manipulation while driving.

I intend to have HF and 6m phone while driving. I want to have knowledge of my current grid to take advantage of 6m propagation enhancements. It would be even better to know how close the next grid is in the direction I?m traveling.
