But seriously, "G2" sounds better than "MKII" and it saves two letters in the bargain.

didn't a former, and now defunct, competitor designate their units as G1, G2, etc.....

i personally much prefer the MK? series nomenclature.

Default Upgrade
Rainier
I personally have been very impressed with my Odyssey, how many functions it has and how easy it is to set up. I havent come anywhere near to using all of the functions of the G1. This new version is complete overkill. So when will the upgrade be available and what is the cost.

The systems are shipping and we are building them as fast as we can.

We have so far upgraded around a dozen customer systems here at the factory and our main distributors will also be doing upgrades. Please check with your distributor on stock - we should be shipping upgrade kits within a week or so (they go courier so that only takes days).
The cost is fairly low but will of course depend on your locality.
Your distributor may offer upgrades with our without the video part which needs a bit of work (making holes, mounting connectors). Without te video the upgrade is pretty much plug and play unless you are using custom screen designes in which case some minor work may be required to get the old screens to look good (you will probably want to redo them anyway now that there are more options).

Default L-3 and Avidyne stormscope support
Just had the good news.
We will be supporting L3 and Avidyne Storm scopes with the new G2 system (free software update soon).

Dito for Navworx and an as yet "secret" transponder for both traffic and weather on ADS-B

This is getting nice...

Great news! The Navworx unit is definitely on my list of desired components. I just wish they're release a price for the ADS-600-B version; if you're going to do ADS-B, might as well do In and Out.

You can tell us about the secret transponder; we promise not to tell anyone.

Sorry - can't, it's from a new player in the field and release is expected in about April.

Did my military service same as most (In Germany, part of Nato forces).
Just feel like I should not be building Kalashnikovs Partly this is also due to our former dealings with a big British based arms company (or their supposed representatives) where we very quickly saw where some of our stuff was going and I did not like it.

Default Secret Transponder
Rainier - If the "secret transponder" is the Aveo TraffiCom you are going to make an awful lot of friends
