I understand it's just a backup to DR and maps etc... However I will be flying at night also in a single in the middle of nowhere so I think it will be good to have something to ensure that I am on-track considering there in only two navaids within about three hundred miles.

I bought it from Airflite down at JT a few weeks ago, It says to have the pacific database in it? So not sure why these airports are not showing up. Am also aware that destinations can be entered by their lat and long... but to save time in the air if i need to divert would be nice if those things were there. I also noticed some of the CTAF freq are wrong in the airport directories so I guess I might as well use ERSA for everything but the moving map display.
