We have an STEC 30 coupled to HDG/NAV1/NAV2/GPS. The current GPS is a
Magellan SkyNav 5000 and its a great little box but I can't get updates for
it anymore. The DB is at least 2 years old. Its really a hassle to use
without the current data.. Basically good for airports and groundspeed
only.

No, I don't fly real IMC but I'd like to. I'd feel safer with a certified
GPS and moving map. KIWS's NDB has been notam'd OTS for about 2.5 months
now and rumor has it that its not coming back. We're expecting a new GPS
approach. That leaves us with just the VOR D circle to land approach.
