SafeNav: GPS navigation system for airport runways


This is called the SafeNav and it’s an airport vehicle navigation system designed to make airport runways safer.

SafeNav is powered by Garmin and it enhances the situational awareness of airport vehicle operators regardless of visibility and other conditions. It provides a moving map of the vehicle’s location on the airport just like any other car GPS navigation system. It includes built-in maps of 950 U.S. airports, provides real-time tracking of vehicle location on the airport on its 4.3″ touch screen, comes with geofencing to keep vehicles off runways and other sorts of alarms for potential runway incursions.

Not sure how much this costs.
