If Garmin stopped GA support tomorrow, what impact would it have on
their bottom line?


Probably not much.


Jay,

I sure wouldn't characterize a quarter *billion* dollars annually as "not
much" (about 15% total revenue).


More than that, it's the highest margin part of their business. For 2005
(the most recent year data is available), aviation was 22% of total
revenue, but 28% of their gross profit. They're not getting out of the
business anytime soon.
