The radio does support GPS in via the serial link with newer firmware.  But you did answer my question.  Is there any plans on supporting GPS out to radios?

Thanks,

If you're asking for the GPS information to flow along the existing
serial cable to the FTM-350, I don't believe the radio supports that.
The FTM-350 is, IMHO, a very closed platform. We're lucky to be able to
get the decoded APRS packets out of it!

Besides, currently APRSISCE/32 doesn't provide any GPS data output.
