Any pilot who's also into ground geocaching? I'm thinking about buying a
new
GPS receiver to use for that purpose, but also wonder if these hikers'
GPSes
can also be used for aviation, perhaps as a backup navigation instrument.
(I
use an older Trimble for flying.)

I use a Magellan 330 Map gps for hiking (at OSH), driving and flying. Get
the mapping software and the PC connection cable to upload and download
waypoints, tracks and routes. It has airports in its database but I put the
local ones in by their identifiers. I also put in the tall antennas in the
area as obstructions. It works well for my use. (YMMV!)

I just bought a panel mount Trimble from eBay, should arrive today. I'm not
sure how soon I'll get that installed in my plane.
