Another feature I like on my Magellan SkyBlazer XL is that it takes me directly to the destination airport. This really helps when going into an airport that's hard to see from the air and unfamiliar to you....the map shows the location on the ground...you get the bearing...and the distance to the airport. For me, the extra $$$ for the aviation GPS is worth all the aviation related features you get.
