GPS Units

Find GPS units in New Zealand for the cockpit, the track and the road. Pilot Shop’s GPS collection brings together handheld GPS devices, aviation GPS units, automotive navigators and GPS engines, making it easier to compare equipment for different navigation needs. Start with how you intend to use your device, then check the individual product specifications for the features and compatibility that matter to you.

For tramping, walking and geocaching, a handheld GPS can provide a dedicated way to check your position and navigate towards saved locations. Depending on the model, features may include waypoint storage, recorded tracks, route navigation, compass functions and compatibility with planning apps. Consider screen readability, battery type and expected operating time, as well as whether the device includes detailed mapping or a simpler basemap. Features vary between units, so choose according to your trips rather than assuming every handheld offers the same tools.

For aviation use, compare the intended purpose of each GPS unit with your cockpit setup and navigation requirements. Check mapping coverage, database options, power connections and compatibility with any equipment you plan to connect. If you are looking for a GPS engine, confirm its connection type and supported devices before ordering. Portable navigation equipment should be selected to suit its intended role, alongside appropriate flight planning and current aeronautical information.

For road travel, automotive GPS navigators offer a dedicated navigation display. Compare screen size, included map coverage, update options and mounting arrangements, then check whether connected features require a compatible smartphone or an additional subscription. Some models include extras such as an integrated dash camera, but these features are specific to the device. Browse the range at Pilot Shop and review each product’s details to find a GPS unit that fits your New Zealand journeys.
