Honeywell’s Bendix/King division released its newest
AV8OR Ace portable GPS at EAA AirVenture in late July, exactly a year after unveiling the first in the AV8OR Handheld series. The Ace features a much larger screen and geo-referenced IFR approach charts, as well as a full-featured automotive navigator, all for the relatively low price of $1,999 (street prices are less than $1,800).

The Ace’s larger screen is a great feature, as the original AV8OR’s 4.3-inch screen (480- by 272-pixel resolution) packs a lot of information into a small space, occasionally making it difficult for pilots suffering from presbyopia (most people over age 40) to decipher words and symbols on the screen. The Ace screen measures seven inches with 800- by 480-pixel resolution, offering much more display real estate and a far more comfortable view, especially when viewing the brilliant terrain display.
