A good place to look at info on this is:

FindACase™ | American Winds Flight Academy v. Garmin International

That would seem to be a bad place to look for confirmation or Garmin having a huge issue - - - As the link shows a summary judgement in Garmin's favour and that the plaintiff's claims were 'rubbish'.
