Shopping around for insurance quotes and received a sample policy with this wording: At first, I found this kind of hilarious. Thinking about it further, though, this clause seems incredibly broad: (1) "occasioned by" would imply that coverage is void regardless of if time failure is causal...

Replaced this with a GTX345 in my Arrow. Worked perfectly when removed. This is the model with internal GPS, meaning it doesn't need to be connected to an external navigator (it does need a WAAS GPS antenna, not included). Includes green tag from WisAv who function tested it on removal. The...
