Avmap has no shot at the Garmin. They aren't competitors. Nobody who
is looking for a handheld looks at the Avmap. It's just way too damn big. Avmap could sell that thing for $600 and not do any damage to Garmins market share. That's silly. My Avmap mounts perfectly between the ram-horns of my yoke. The only reason AvMap isn't eating Garmin's lunch is marketing, plain and simple. It's sorta the same reason a Holiday Inn Express can remain 100% full while charging $99 per night for a horrible, 200 square foot room and stale bakery in the lobby. Spend that same $99 at our place, and you'll get a 450 square foot, one-bedroom suite, with a delivered breakfast and a jacuzzi hot tub. Marketing -- not value -- is everything with the average consumer. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
