Note: As of June 30, the current batch of GPS2 receivers have an issue that prevents them from working with the TinyTrak3+ and TinyTrak3 based Micro-Traks. I am working to resolve this issue with the manufacturer. Orders with GPS2s may be delayed until a solution is found. The GPS2 will work with the TinyTrak4 and GPAKC/GPAKP cables. I am very sorry for this problem.
