Interesting

Kind of interesting to see that 57% of their revenue came from non-automotive sources for the year. I don't know if they sell more of the non-automotive GPS units or if they just generate higher profits.

They

They probably make more money selling a hundred aircraft GPS system than they do selling 10000, maybe 100000, Nuvi's.

I would

think that the aircraft GPS would be more expensive. That has to be 100% correct and more input as opposed to car units. Sound right?

Marine units are a big seller

Garmin marine units have been very popular for a long time, perhaps the biggest selling for smaller boats. Also, the charts (maps) cover a limited area so if you travel far, Garmin will make more money.

It's a market where phone based gps units would not provide much competition.
