"not inexpensive." Nicely understated. :-D  Here's an example site
selling them, since you're not going to find them at your typical GPS
stores:

Is it really only the aviation Garmins that still have serial ports?
Wow, that's a bit disappointing, even if not unexpected with the
disappearance of serial.

It looks like the 296 and up can do serial and have the ability to do
automobile navigation, although they may need to have the map software
purchased and maps loaded on a memory card. Now whether they can take
the output of a Kenwood APRS radio and display it is a different
question.

before spending way too much money on a GPS)
