Garmin buys a company of 150 people and you think they have dominated an
entire industry?

The UPS avionics effort was an attempt by the freight-hauling parent to
design
some of their own avionics for their fleet, then as the thing grew its own
life, some of them prevailed to make G/A goodies. This likely came to
interfere with the core business, thus they were more than ready to dump
this
subsiderary.

Thirty nine million, in the current market, looks like smiling all the way
to the bank to me.
