No.
None of the 800, 900 or 1100 series models have been built with an internal GPS Receiver.

OK, I am getting ready to order one from Universal Mania and they have what looks to be the same unit listed twice and they have different serial numbers;408890-1 & 407820-1. What is the differance?

Thanks, Steve

Just answered your pm about this Steve.
Those are part (or SKU) numbers, not serial numbers.

The 407820-1 is the part number for the older 898c Si Combo unit that was used to make that had a CCFL type backlit display.

The 408890-1 is the newer 898c HD Si Combo model that has an LED type backlit display.

The display backlighting is the only difference between these two units.
