Using GPS

Hi Everyone,

Having never used a GPS and looking into the possibility of a USA flying holiday, I'm interested in what people make of flying with GPS.

Is it reliable enough to use as a primary nav aid, what's the accuracy like these days?

Are all GPS the same (or similar) or do I need specifically an aviation one?

How much information can be gleaned from it? Are we talking range and bearing to a nav aid/airfield in its basic form?

Thanks for any advice for a GPS Biff

Thanks

Rich
