You mean like these?

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.

All the portable aviation GPS units include charts with airspace
information, terrain information with altitude warning, heading,
ground speed, and much, much more.

You might download and read the user manual for a typical one.
