XM Weather, auto-routing for ground travelers, air traffic data from
TIS, etc, all qualify as 'advanced' features, not 'basic' features for
the typical VFR pilot, and might very well justify a premium price if
the buyer is willing to pay such a large amount extra for them. But
is that really worth almost three and a half times the price?

Obviously it is, since the thing sold like hotcakes -- it took weeks for me to
get mine.

Garmin was probably kicking themselves for not pricing it higher initially.



That's about what they're really worth.

Maybe to you; that's why you didn't buy. Plenty of people felt differently.

Goods don't have intrinsic worth on some absolute scale. They are "worth"
what the market will pay.
