HIGHLY doubtful! Garmin owns the market, does a GREAT job, and nobody else
is even in the running.

Uhhh Yes!! For portable units Look at Avmap and a few other Tablet PC based
GPS systems.

What % of the market do you think they have?

They have enough % to take large adds in magazines and make a profit! Garmin
is banking on their name from past successes other then aviation! It is to
early to say Garmin owns the aviation market they do have a rather large
marketing team but I don't think that their name will last another 5 years
with the quality of product that is being produced and at a price that one
can buy a better built more reliable item for almost 2/3's the cost!!!

You could have said the SAME thing 5 years ago, and been wrong then too.

Nonsense. Garmin dominates their market. No one else is even in the
running. Honeyell Bendix/King is fading fast from light aviation. If anyone
is liable to be gone in 5 years, it is them.

with the quality of product that is being produced and at a price that one
can buy a better built more reliable item for almost 2/3's the cost!!!

None of Garmin's competitors shows any signs of being able to do that, so I
guess it is up to you. What are you going to name your company?
