Oh dear oh dear. I haven't flown in ages, still haven't done any PPL ground exams and still don't have any money in the bank but the appeal of a new gadget became too much today so I succumbed and ordered a GPS.
I know I don't "need" it, and it's not an aviation specific one (Garmin Etrex) but it's shiny and cheap-ish... It's just nice to have something to see for your money at times I guess, and if the weather doesn't improve I'll only end up spending the Chirstmas money on beer
(and newly discovered double JD and coke :o - dangerous)
So, tell me what I've let myself in for! Will an Etrex be usuable in an aircraft, obviously as a backup or just for reference, but will it function as it should up there?
Anyone own one of these little gems? Good or bad stories?!
Merry Christmas to you all, hope your day was as enjoyable and peaceful as mine!
