Answer 5

We use Garmin 430s in our helicopters. Aviation GPS is better than a car GPS because it gets 4 satellites and is less likely to fail. If you decide to do instrument approaches it's good too because it will get RAIM (reciever autonomous integrity monitoring) which is a 5th sattelite. 3 sattelites are for triangulating your position, one for time and altitude, and the 5th one does RAIM if you decide to do an instrument approach.
