Maybe if you're Garmin, and make very little aircraft avionics. They've never made much on it, since they only make a tiny piece of what aircraft use.
Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, GE (still in the game?) make enough on aircraft avionics to buy Garmin many times over. Garmin never made it into the space of high end aircraft positioning systems.

- jpgvm 4y agoFlew yesterday in a Cessna 172 with G1000 glass cockpit for the first time. It's a pretty sweet product so hopefully they find more success in avionics.
