You can enter the airports into the unit as user waypoints. Same with
VORs and so forth. There is usually a limit on how many of these you
can have. Not the greatest unit, but it will work.

If you have software that allows you to build your waypoint list on your PC
and can then upload it to your GPS, it's better...

Myself, I use Street Atlas on my laptop and connect a non-aviation GPS to
it... Works great... It seems to have even the smaller private strips... Of
course, you have no runway or frequency information, but that's not too
inconvenient...

My old Garmin-12 has room for 500 waypoints. I use it for geocaching
but it should work fine for flying. But manually entering waypoints can
introduce errors! The program EasyGPS takes standard input files from
geocaching.com and I'll bet there is a place that spits out .loc files
for navaids, airports, and the like but you'll have to look for it.
