And, I am still dealing with bugs in the G500H software, some of which are still not resolved and will require additional fixes. In talking to Garmin yesterday, they told me that some of these could take "2-3 years" to resolve."
(If ever)
In the next paragraph you say,
"avionics are a moving target and most exciting new avionics look like antiques in 5-7 years no matter who makes them"
I totally agree regarding the moving target but we are paying large amounts of cash for a product, that has known bugs, is it not time that the manufacturers were made to address these as a matter of urgency rather than in their own good time ? you have paid for a product that could be at least half way through its useful life by the time they bother to sort problems out.
In our industry they then turn to the other excuse, it is old technology the new equipment will be available soon! (with a new set of bugs)
