I guess some clarification is in order. The Phase I hardware was
provided by UPSAT, long before Garmin bought them. Development on Phase
I has ended, and to say that Garmin built those boxes is akin to saying
Boeing built the DC-3. I just don't think that way.


Garmin bought UPSAT to prevent itself from being frozen out of the GPS
market. Boeing never wabted anything from Douglas.

Phase II, the current project, is powered by Chelton displays, and the
same UAT boxes supplied under Phase I. So, yes, I guess I was incorrect
to exclude Garmin from the mix.


Paying $160 million for UPSAT is a pretty nice compliment from Garmin.
