Could anyone here tell me if a portable GPS system
of high quality would be of practical application to
small aircraft? It can be mounted.


Thanks.


have you lived in a cave all your life?


No, its simply a matter of:

My limited experience of aviation has been in older planes
without GPS equipment, and more specifically,..

The GPS unit I have recently received was a gift, and I hadn't
familiarized my self with it as such, but did notice it seemed
geared more toward nautical data. Makes sense cause the
giver knows I also spend time on the water. I simply wanted
some intelligent feedback as to the parameters for
consideration for multiple applications of -any- GPS.

Thank you all for your feedback. It was perfect and now
I think I'll get another, better GPS developed specifically
for aviation.

The only time I spent in a cave was while exploring the
backwoods of West Virginia. It was a very harrowing
experience. Your mother wouldn't let go of my leg.
