Land Rover GPS

I don't see anything innovative on this test. Nothing.

Even my eTrex, which is one of the most smallest (in terms of features) GPSes can do Airborne Navigation. BTDTNT. I'm a pilot myself. And it works up to 1000km-h (haven't been faster yet ;-).

In fact, Airborne NAV like this is to be much less to be precise since you only need to hit an Airport with a precision from ~1km. The rest is up to the ILS or your eyes.

So What?

I've spent far more hours (days...weeks) in the back country with boots on my feet and a pack on my back than I...

When I do navigation off-road I need to have a precision of 5m and less. Some trailes need this. And I need to have maps that go down to 1:10.000 scale with bitmaps so you can see small trails as well and track good.

THAT'S what I'd call Navigation for an Offroad vehicle.

What is shown in this spot is marketing at its finest. Nothing more. Useless for anybody buying this gadget and useless in its message - no streetborne GPS is 'good' just because it allows to have an airplane flight being tracked.
