Default Lowrance GPS

Lowrance is big, dumb, and the world-leader in marine GPS -- a far
larger market -- so they look at aviation as an impossibly tiny niche
market.

I'll bet their marine units get XM first.


....and by the time they have an XmWx aviation unit, Garmin will have
their next gen. unit ready to blow it away.

Crystal ball: Lowrance's unit will therefore sell poorly, justifying the
internal nay-sayers at Lowrance and guranteeing their continued weak r&d
spending on aviation portables.
