I've just bought a TomTom GPS for my car with preloaded road maps of the US

showing the roads below, etc?

There was a time when Garmin GPSes meant for terrestrial use would cut out
at around 100mph, which limited their usefulness for aviation. But that
was a long time ago. It's doubtful that TomTom did that same stupid
thing.

There is an on-line book athttp://www.cockpitgps.com/that has some
information about using non-aviation GPS in aviation.

I wouldn't be surprised if I'd have to put garlic in the CD drawer
to really get rid of it.

Garmin doesnt do that anymore . . . . I have seen over 700 kts on my
Garmin . . . once in a United 737, it must have been a mother of a
tailwind. This is back several years ago when some airlines were ok
with GPS in the cabin.

Take care . . .
