I bought a Magellan 310 at a sporting goods store. 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.

It would not work in the plane - everything went to zero. I tried it out in the car and it worked a treat, so back to the plane, no joy so I emailed Garmin help desk. It turned out that the terrestrial units had a max speed limit (something like 50 mph). Question is if your Airmap is the same and /or if a re-program to aviation software will remedy this.
