Pittsburg, Kansas-based Control Vision claims its ATC has a significantly larger screen (4.3 inches vs 3.75 inches) and roughly double the resolution. Priced at $895, it is available with optional XM Weather and Pocket Plates approach charts for $1,895. (An introductory discount of $200 is in effect.)
