Default Now and next month

Currently flying with steam gages augmented with GDL 39/Garmin Pilot/Android tablet since 2013. Before that, I used an Anywhere Map GPS for nav.
In the works, however, is a new vfr panel system based around a G3X with A/P and existing radio/xpndr.

I'm curious about the "other brand and not satisfied"... which brand(s) and why?

Incomplete poll as it limits the Garmin brand to the 3GX type... my ship sports dual Garmin G5s and a GNX375, so had to choose

I'd be interested to see real market share data if you are able to share it. I'm a little surprised to see Dynon and GRT out in front by a 40 point margin.

When you compare prices (bang for your buck), I?m not surprised.

I have two GRT WS EFISs and they have been great. I would only replace them with the newer GRT EXs.

I?ve had the Dynon D180 and it was ok. Next build had Skyview Touch and really liked it. My current ride has AFS and couldn?t be happier with it. I have also used the G3x and it was probably comparable to the Skyview HDX. IMO, AFS is a cut above. Dynon/AFS customer support and warranty is truly excellent.

Default Basically useless poll

Some of the comments on this thread may be interesting but the poll itself is flawed and virtually useless. It limits itself to only one Garmin EFIS, includes all Dynon models, includes all GRT models, but excludes AFS altogether (which might be the best of the bunch).

The omission of AFS is a significant flaw in the poll as currently composed.
