Still, any one of them is probably good enough to get you back home in
quiet conditions.

How soon we forget. Most any of them give lat/long. They replace the
sextant, not charts. If you also get some sort of database, so much
the better.

Another difference to marine GPS is that they most likely do not include
SDGPS, ie more precise position (like 2 metres instead of 20 metres).
Of course, on open sea this does not make any difference.
