Default Will a generic card reader work for downloading Garmin GNS 430 updates?

Of course it has to be the correct card type.


Are there even generic card readers available for the card types that the
GNS430 database requires? These cards, unlike the B/K KLN database cards,
appear to be proprietary to me.

Good question. I have not determied what type card it is yet.
However, it does appear on the outside to be the same as those in the
Garmin 250 XL(?). Aircraft Spruce sells a reader for whatever type
card that is for about $40 USD. It is not a Compact Flash, SD or xD
card.
