Is there a GPS system that I can put in my car but that also can be taken out and used when walking in an unfamiliar area or do they all do this? Is a digi-walker different from a GPS system? Is there a product that can serve both functions?

The only thing that I know for sure is that your FMS must be approved for GPS approaches. I thought that you also need some kind of annunciator in the cockpit telling you that the GPS has gone into the more precise approach mode. I fly a Lear 55C with dual UNS 1-Ds.

cfi_jes asked:


I have found many automotive GPS systems for laptops, and have found aviation GPS systems for PDAs, but none for laptops so far. I was wondering if such a thing exists….

something I could use in conjunction with Chart Case Electronic Flight Bag, or one of the other EFBs.
