What is the I/O Pin Configuration (number/layout) on this GPS
receiver?
The earlier Magellan OEM boards used an 8-pin interface (as seen in G8
manual).
Does your Magellan GPS board have these markings (silk-screened on
board)??

feasibility study in early 1986 to pursue commercial markets for
products based on global positioning system (GPS) technology.
Magellan introduced the first handheld commercial GPS receiver in 1989
