The GPS 18x is a GPS sensor targeted to OEM clients for use in automotive, fleet vehicle, and electronics applications where a small, highly accurate GPS receiver is needed. This 12 parallel channel, WAAS enabled GPS receiver is available in either CMOS level serial or USB 2.0 full speed versions, and comes with an integrated magnetic base. The puck like receiver is 2.4 inches in diameter and weighs just ounces, making it an ideal solution in applications where space is at a premium. The GPS 18x is offered in three different cable configurations: A style USB, DB 9 pin serial with 12 volt cigarette lighter adapter /PC, or bare wire /LVC. The PC and LVC versions both default to output data in the industry standard NMEA 0183 data format, but may also be user programmed to output data in the GARMIN proprietary format. The USB version produces data only in the GARMIN proprietary format. All three versions of the GPS 18 come complete with non volatile memory for storage of configuration information, a real time clock, and raw measurement output data for sophisticated customer applications. The LVC version additionally provides a pulse per second logic level output whose rising edge is aligned to the UTC second within 1 microsecond. The USB 2.0 full speed version of the GPS18 is also compatible with USB 1.1 full speed hosts. ## Features - High Sensitivity LVC Sensor with Bare Wire Connection - WAAS Enabled High Sensitivity GPS Receiver - Comes w/A Connector End that Can Attach to a CMOS for OEM Applications - Non Volatile Memory for Storage of Configuration Information - Raw Measurement Output Data for Sophisticated Customer Applications ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0016O3T7A | | Additional Features | Motion Sensor | | Are Batteries Included | No | | Audio Output Mode | Stereo | | Battery Average Life | 16 Hours | | Best Sellers Rank | #53,060 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #14 in Marine GPS Units & Chartplotters | | Brand | Garmin | | Built-In Media | GPS 18x with serial, USB or bare wire connection | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Compatible Flash Memory Type | CF Type I | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car, Truck | | Connectivity Protocol | USB | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Control Method | App | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 83 Reviews | | Display Type | LCD | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00753759077839 | | Human-Interface Input | Buttons | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 4"L x 2"W x 4"H | | Item Weight | 116 Grams | | Manufacturer | Garmin | | Map Types | North America | | Mfr Part Number | 010-00321-36 | | Model Name | 18x LVC | | Model Number | 010-00321-36 | | Model Year | 2009 | | Mounting Type | Dashboard Mount, found in image | | Operating System | Windows | | Resolution | 480 x 272 | | Screen Size | 10 Inches | | Special Feature | Motion Sensor | | Supported Satellite Navigation System | GPS | | UPC | 753759077839 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Vehicle Service Type | Car, Truck | | Warranty Description | 365 Days (Parts) / 365 Days (Labor) | ## Product Details - **Audio Output Mode:** Stereo - **Battery Life:** 16 Hours - **Brand:** Garmin - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Included Components:** GPS 18x with serial, USB or bare wire connection - **Map Type:** North America - **Model Name:** 18x LVC - **Screen Size:** 10 Inches - **Special Feature:** Motion Sensor - **Vehicle Service Type:** Car, Truck ## Images ![18x LVC GPS Navigator Unit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ZIfxQfT7L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I would like to know if i can connect this to my icom ic9100 ham radio?** A: Yes. It connects to "Data 1" through an Icom OPC-1529R cable. Check out page 121 of the Icom IC-9100 manual for more details. **Q: Is this the same unit as a garmin gps 18x lvc, 5m** A: The -5m stands for a 5 meter cable. I have the -5m so I don't know how long the standard cable length is. **Q: Will this work with a kenwood tm-d710g ham radio using the supplied cable? cable has 3 wires, data in, data out, and ground.** A: The LVC uses 4 wires, 1 dcd, 2 rx , 3 tx, 5 G. If you don't require the pps signal, rransmitted on pin 1 dcd, and the interface is serial level, then it will work. The only really grear thing about the LVC is the pps signal. Otherwise, many gps receivers can do the job. **Q: Can you provide instructions on how to use/wire this with an icom ic-7100 (i saw the response for the 9100 but not sure if it will work for the 7100).** A: Since the guy who makes the unit that is sold on eBay for both the 9100 and 7100 sells it for both radios with the same hook-up, I would say yes... if it works for the 9100 it will work for the 7100. If you can't find it in the 7100 manual, the instructions in the 9100 should work exactly the same. It will work for the 9700 too but you have to have a different din plug to power it from the radio. I just put Anderson power poles on the power leads and power it from my main 12vDC power panel. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***. on January 14, 2012* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***R on April 15, 2014* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***R on April 2, 2010* ## Frequently Bought Together - Garmin 18x LVC GPS Navigator Unit - StarTech.com 16in (40cm) 9 Pin Serial Male to 10 Pin Motherboard Header Slot Plate - motherboard Serial Port Adapter (PLATE9M16), Gray - SABRENT USB 2.0 to Serial (9 Pin) DB 9 RS 232 Converter Cable, Prolific Chipset, HEXNUTS, [Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7/VISTA/XP, Mac OS X 10.6 and Above] 2.5 Feet (CB-DB9P) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/6652563-18x-lvc-gps-navigator-unit](https://www.desertcart.be/products/6652563-18x-lvc-gps-navigator-unit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
