"Very good and
informative -- not
just product hype!"
--R.D., Dallas, TX
Through the marvels of computer technology, you can now enjoy "smart" navigation and communications equipment with astounding capabilities. Even a $300 GPS receiver will guide you with uncanny precision to any destination you choose. Use your set's database to view complete information on any airport in the world, including its exact location, runway directions and sizes, radio frequencies, fuel availability, and more. In your high-tech comm set, store the frequencies you use often, for unicom, control tower, ground control, ATIS, clearance delivery, etc., and activate them at the press of a key or two. But remember, each of these marvelous black boxes has its own particular set of features. No two models are alike! Which should you choose? You'll find the answers in the only complete and unbiased source: The GPS & Nav/Comm Buyer's Guide.
