Any pilot who's also into ground geocaching? I'm thinking about buying a new
GPS receiver to use for that purpose, but also wonder if these hikers' GPSes
can also be used for aviation, perhaps as a backup navigation instrument. (I
use an older Trimble for flying.)

I do both with my Garmin Pilot III. My friend has a Garmin GPS 72 or
76 not really sure.
I find his moving compass works better than mine when walking. I
really like the aviation database built into mine. It is nice to be
able to find the nearest airport in case of an emergency.
You should pick a GPS that will do what you want for either Flying or
Geocaching. This will then work fine for the other one.
