Aterpster, re #127. Yes, Honeywell have promoted the use of an internal GPS card, but Airbus chose a different route.
That is a better solution. Honeywell was simply trying to prevent "Brand U" airline from using DME/DME on their pre-GPS airplanes instead of GPS. The minimal GPS sensor is far, far better than DME/DME.
