I am assuming you're referring to the IFR panel units. Garmin benefits from
a stringent certifaction and quality assurance process for IFR certified GPS
systems. Avmap does not produce systems for IFR usage. An error like that
occurring on a GNS 430/530 would be big news and most likely end up as an
AD. As for their handhelds (non-IFR), they will benefit from an
engineering/QA staff experienced with TSO-C129 and TSO 146 certification
processes.

What would you expect from a Windows OS unit?

What makes you so sure that it would not happen with a Garmin?
