and synthetic vision which can be packed into the Mini units are truly rema

For example, 'Highway in the Sky' (HITS) is particularly useful. At a $1,395
base price, the Mini-X unit is excellent value and will drive autopilot ser
vos with basic heading and altitude select, plus GPS tracking. See http://
grtavionics.com/mini.html If you scroll down, you will find the list of f
eatures.
