Stan,

I couldn't agree more. The company I flew for over the summer (Falcon
900s, CV, C208B, Sikorsky) was test-driving these $5,000+ units, and we
weren't impressed. If it were panel-integrated with accurate position
layover like some of the new Honeywell and Rockwell Collins stuff, it would
be useful. However, we just saw them as a really heavy piece of paper. I
think there's definitely a utility curve with some of this new stuff.

That being said, I'm sure it's nice to have in rental GA aircraft, as most
don't have neat gizmos to fool around with
