Usually they have no aviation database. You will have to build your own, as you fly there. It is really convenient to be able to punch in your intended destination and have all the info come up on the screen. If there is an in-flight problem, by punching a certain key, the next airport (closest) will be brought up. Also, I've heard some talk that because they are built for hikers, will not work above 95 mph, but it has been disputed. Better off trying to buy a used one from someone that wants to upgrade. The old Garmin 55's can be had for about $175.00. Good luck Al
