brak is on a distinguished road
I'd like to mention, that while Garmin may need an update to use data FROM DSC radio, DSC radio should be able to use Garmin data (or any other GPS data) without any updates. It uses on of the standard NMEA messages for coordinates. So, if the radio is unable to receive this data, it is not likely that firmware upgrade will help. It may be worth doing anyway, but if it does not work - the usual NMEA stuff applies -check proper connections, check that the GPS is configured for output on a given port and output parameters are correct (i.e. if it can output different messages or speeds, these must be compatible to the radio)
