Marco,

home-run to use in the airplane in VFR.


Uhm, why? The point in VFR flying is to look outside, isn't it? You
need a GPS in VFR flying to warn you of your position relative to
things you can't see outside, i.e. airspace. Why would you need
detailed imagery on a display for that? If it comes free, maybe, but at
the price tag to be expected? What for?
