I dont know about the newer navigation system types... the older hand-held Magellan and Garmin units with serial outputs (most need a custom cable) have worked just fine for me.
The magellan 300 series and garmin eMap series should be dirt cheap used these days. |

The easiest setup there is to begin doing APRS is the Byonics TinyTrak. Byonics.com will have allt he info. Byonics also provides an all-in-one GPS magnet mount antenna that is super small, and has NMEA string output.
I have 2 of the complete units, and they are really super simple and work well.
