I've just bought a TomTom GPS for my car with preloaded road maps of the US

showing the roads below, etc?
It will, but a better way to use it is to zoom out to show your
position in relation to towns, cities and geographic features - in
other words, Situational Awareness. A terrestrial GPS is a good
backup, but one with an aviation database is vastly more useful for
flying (IMHO).
