Yep, I fly the Magellan also and it is good up to 500 MPH and unlimited altitude. The Magellan is easily converted to aircraft use and can be hooked to a PC for a huge moving map display. A sweet little arrangement.

Tried it out just for fun on a recent flight to Illinois. Worked great. American got up to 415 mph on descent and cruised at about 355. Went up to 35,000 above sea level and had a heading the whole way. If I put in the waypoints I had already marked, it gave headings and distance. In other words it looks like a great backup GPS. > Ray > New Orleans > > Steve Jacobs <st...@johnmartin.co.za> wrote: Bought the Marine unit for 80 bucks and re-programmed the sucker for air > usage > > +++++++++++++++++ > > My first attempt at getting a GPS was also a buck saving mission - I opted > for an old non-aviation Garmin (no map). > > It would not work in the plane - everything went to zero.
