This GPS is made for people to use in cars. There are GPS versions for boats and ships, too. It depends on what is in the software. Regards, Dan Why don’t you check with the manufacturer?

I have the 330 in my car but because I am a flight officer for our local rescue helo I use the 60csx in the air. It has the ability to quickly switch from following roads and intersections (catching bad guys) to topo terrain mapped off road mapping (picking people up). The 330 does have the ability to follow even dirt roads (providing the were existent in 2004 during that map year) but all the upgrades have are road changes. I have emailed Garmin support and they do not intend to make any of their "road/in car" series off-road capable because the OS is set up different than that of the handhelds. Sorry to burst your bubble! lol...good luck and happy flying. P.S. If you are looking at buying a unit for your plane, I cannot recommend the 60csx with the 99$ topo map software ENOUGH!! Absolutely awesome, I hear the new Garmin colorado is cool too! Unlike Garmins handheld GPS products there is actually no feature to disable the “follow road feature”.

If you want an aviation based that will also work on the streets or on the water you should get a GPSMAP 296. They call it a “StreetPilot” for a reason.
