Default Automotive style GPSes with NMEA-0183 HW interface?

They and Kenwood had displays at the recent TAPR-DCC. The Kenwood rep
mentioned that they, unlike any of the other major GPS manufacturers,
are willing to work with Kenwood on tweaks that make them even more
APRS friendly. As a retired pilot, I got a chuckle out of one of the
display formats which mimicked an aircraft Horizontal Situation
Indicator, HSI. I gather they are primarily a European avionics firm
looking to expand and move into the consumer market, which may account
for some of the price.
