[DeTomaso] GPS

[David in Durango]

"There are a couple different reasons for Aircraft GPS being more expensive. One is they typically require more satellites to confirm navigation. They also notify you of accepted navigation levels because of available satellites and due to messages satellite give out about their integrity."

Not sure this is correct.  My Garmin shows satelites in view, signals acquired and signals locked.  It also gives error (e.g. +/- 19ft.)  of fix.  19ft. is the length of my Torino - so I think of accurace as "1 car length" and that's too close for a missle hit . . . .hahahahaha.

FWIW, my old Garmin has many features not available on the newer/cheaper units.
