I have to wonder how complete the weather is. I couldn't tell from
the site but I bet it's only nexrad and 3-day forecasts. I bet
there's no metars, tafs, etc that pilots would need.


That was my thought.

The unit looks like it is lacking in almost everything a pilot would want to
have in a GPS. The view of aerial pictures of the current location is a
neat gimmick, but also probably not too useful for pilots.
