Ouch. This is bad for all of us, as there is virtually no competition for WxWorx/Garmin. So true. Last week I was talking to my avionics tech about the MX20/WSI issues and he informed me that the MX20 (multifunction display) replacement just released from Garmin will not even display WSI weather in any form. This new display is only compatible with Garmin's XM receiver. -- Peter |

XM/AviDyne Matt -- "I had one fundamental question about economics: Why are some places prosperous and thriving while others just suck? It's not a matter of brains. No part of the earth (with the possible exception of Brentwood) is dumber than Beverly Hills, and the residents are wading in gravy. Meanwhile in Russia, where chess is a spectator sport, they're boiling stones for soup. " -- P.J. O'Rourke in Eat the Rich |

This is bad for all of us, as there is virtually no competition for WxWorx/Garmin. XM/AviDyne As I said: virtually no competition. Avidyne has no line of NAV/COM/GPS boxes, nor does it make portables. Avidyne, it seems to me, also lags Garmin's technology in PFDs and MFDs--Garmin now has an integrated autopilot. Cessna, Mooney and Raytheon all chose Garmin over Avidyne. It is ominous for Avidyne that Columbia Aircraft now offers Garmin as an option. Garmin is just flat beating the crap out of its competitors in all GA segments, gobbling up market share and setting prices levels. This is as it should be, of course, but its disappointing (and costly) to us consumers that B/K, Lowrance, Avidyne, etc. seem unable to catch up. As for WSI, they are getting beaten in the marketplace too by WxWorx, which made the key alliances while WSI slept. -- Dan C-172RG at BFM |
