I use a Garmin 396. I have the XM weather and music subscriptions on it. Nice to know baseball scores while flying.. With XM and Sirius merging perhaps all the sports will be on it soon. It has all the typical vfr and ifr databases. It has a road database and I have used it for that when the pax take Garmin Nuvi to find thier way. I have even taken it on the boat and it works good there too. It has an attachment for the depth sounder/fish finder. The book says it can be submerged in 6 meters of water for 30 minutes-but I will just have to trust them on that. You could use it to go hiking but it is a bit large for that--there are smaller gps units for hiking or trail riding.
No such thing as the perfect gps-
