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.
