> Which GPS can display grid squares?

I have a Garmin GPSmap 276C which will show Maidenhead grids. I have  
one of the screens configured to show both lat/lon and grids. Very  
handy. The 276C is a mapping GPS which will do trip routing when  
configured with the proper map data (at additional cost). New price  
for a 276C is not cheap--look for dealers selling refurb units to save  
a few bucks.

Also, the Kenwood TM-D700 and TM-D710 2m/440 APRS mobile radios if fed  
with any cheap puck-type GPS receiver will show _your_ Maidenhead grid  
as well as lat/lon on the POS display screen.
