GPS 150XL

One of two new panel-mount navigators, the 150XL merges the industry's
most popular VFR GPS navigator--the GPS
150--with state-of-the-art moving map graphics. The display LCD is more than four times as
many pixels as competitors'
panel-mount products, allowing SUAs to actually appear as curved rings and making
alphanumeric characters more easily
distinguishable. The GPS 150XL and the GNC 250XL also employ powerful 12-channel GPS
receivers, making them the first
VFR panel-mounted units in the marketplace to use the patented PhaseTrac12 GPS engine.
