Anyway...perhaps this is a software version issue. I originally learned on
a newly installed unit, while the one I was using yesterday was installed
at some time further in the past (I don't know precisely when; it predates
my club membership).

My GNS430's were installed Jan, 2002. When I press the FPL button the
previous way point is on the top of the screen, the current way point
is one down. I have had one or more software updates (I can't remember
how many) and that behaviors has not changed.


Does Garmin provide software upgrades separate from the navigation data
updates?

Yes. They have to be installed by an avionics shop. They also reset
all of your settings (flight plans, schedular, and display fields).
