Default Handheld GPS adaptible to aviation

Well, you do have to have some means to know what you're
seeing with the OUTSIDE WORLD INDICATOR. The chart could be
almost anything, a gas station road map, an encyclopedia,
but if fuel is not critical, you can find New Orleans from
Wichita, by flying a heading of 165, for several hours
[depends on speed] until you reach the endless body of water
[Gulf of Mexico] and turn left and follow the shore line to
the big river [Mississippi] and the turn left again until
you see the city and the big lake, airport on the south
shore.
