The "freight-hauling parent" didn't do much design, if any, nor was it intended specifically for their own fleet. It was targeted at GA from the outset, by the original designer: II Morrow. Frankly, I thought it was always a little strange that UPS bought out II Morrow, IIRC, II Morrow's original business plan was to use LORAN to provide truck and taxi dispatchers with up-to-the-minute location info on the vehicles in their fleets. They probably had UPS seed money. but their current choice of how to dispose of their purchase is going to be very bad for the avionics market. There's going to be even less price competition than there was before, and I will be surprised if Garmin leaves both product lines available intact. Anyone know how to get the FTC to notice this and do something about it? Oh my. Where have all the rec.aviation.libertarians gone? ?;- * Is Garmin going to pull the operation out of Oregon? Don |
