[OZAPRS] Help needed with Garmin Etrex Venture

[Andrew Rich]

I am not sure about the Etrex. my GPS18 has no screen !

I can use GARMIN commands to turn on and off NMEA sentences and the like.

I was once seen to get a working organiser and a broken screen one and
power
up and press buttons in the right sequence.

You can only try, download a manual from garmin for one of the ones
without
a screen and send away.

I have doubts tho, cause you will be talking to the processor through the
screen in most cases to toggle garmin/nmea

G'day all,

I have been given a Garmin Etrex Venture GPS unit but it has an
unreadable (cracked) LCD screen.  Is it possible to set up the
unit via the serial port to output NMEA to be useful in APRS?  It
appears to talk Garmin at present so still seems to be functioning.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks
