I thought it was more for ground navigation (for backpackers and campers) than flying. Once you get the GPS how do you load the maps on it?

Hey Ed, it actually has all the airports in the database. Just location, not like runways and stuff. It has a base map of the entire US, but you can get extremely detailed maps off of the MapSource CD you run to the GPS from your PC. As for Navaids, I used the coordinates and plugged them in manually. Worked great though. You can also buy a clip mount, that works great for a yoke, or I also use it for when I go mtn. biking or 4 wheeling.
