Honeywell offers low-cost handheld GPS

Except for some early models, Honeywell’s Bendix/King division hasn’t in recent years focused on the market for GPS handheld navigators. This year at the EAA AirVenture show in Oshkosh, Wis., however, Bendix/King unveiled a handheld that offers a lower-cost alternative to Garmin’s dominant line of GPS handhelds.

The new Bendix/King AV8OR launched at a competitive retail price of $749, but lately street prices have dropped below $650. What makes the AV8OR different is not just that it is a capable aviation GPS handheld and a fully functional automotive GPS but it also offers the option of adding XM Weather, all for a competitive total price.
