The vast majority (72 percent) of respondents welcome a higher level of standardization between brands, especially of the basic GPS functions needed for VFR and IFR navigation. About 10 percent of those responding normally use only the Direct To mode, while 9 percent felt transitioning from one GPS to another has always been easy for them, regardless of brand.
