Portable GPS suitable for first job(poor ppl)?
Nearing the end of my training and starting to plan for the pilgrimage northwest so more budgeting needs to be done.
I was advised that while most if not all aircraft are running gps now in the GA work force it can be of great benefit if you have your own either as a back up or to use if the a/c does not have one.
Having no experience with using GPS until now, I have no idea what ones there are for portable use. Ive seen in a few pics on here what looks like a small Garmin model but Im looking for advice on what a good unit would be for a fresh CPL on a budget but with the right features looking to do outback flying. Seems to be plenty of guys and gals on here using them so it seems this is a good place to ask. Also heard that some of these car double as a road GPS? Is it even worth spending the money on?
Also, any ideas if CASA are ever going to allow iPad nav'ing?
