Yeah, kinda. I see now that some units are made
specifically for aviation, and from the looks, seem to
include pertinent instrumentation, like a control panel.

Mine seems to be more for maps, and exploration.
I really havent been all thru it yet. It doesn't contain
an altimeter as such, but does give headings and
trip data. I dunno, it might be helpful.

thanks.
