## Discrepancy

CLEARED DIRECT TO THE INITIAL APPROACH,  SAW THE GPS UNIT DIM THEN GO BLACK. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, SMELLED A BURNING ODOR COMING FROM THE COCKPIT.  IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE UNIT AND DECLARED AN EMERGENCY WITH APPROACH CONTROL.  ONCE POWER WAS REMOVED FROM THE UNIT, THE ODOR SLOWLY DISSIPATED.  MADE A NORMAL LANDING AND TAXIED INTO THE RAMP. NO FIRE OCCURRED AFTER REMOVING POWER FROM THE UNIT.
