Something that draws a straight line from one point to the next so I can
tell if I am left or right of the correct path
priced.
When I want a line to follow on my GPS map display, I use the "route"
function which is available in most (if not all) Garmin consumer GPS
receivers. You can create the routes with the receiver itself and save them
on your personal computer using garmin's mapsource software or you can make
the routes on the PC at home before your flight and then download them into
the receiver.
I also recall an old garmin feature called "track back" that will analyze
the actual path you flew and create a route that follows that path. I'm not
sure which receivers have that capability today.
The folks at www.tvnav.com can help you pick a receiver just right for you.
I recommend that you get the largest screen you can afford.
It might be just because I'm getting old but I don't like squinting at those
itty bitsy GPS screens anymore.
