Default 430W doubling in cost?

" Schedule your WAAS upgrade now!
Save $1495.00"

"Effective September 1st the WAAS Upgrade price will increase from
$1500.00 to $2995.00, therefore schedule your WAAS upgrade by August
31st to be completed before May 31, 2008 and save $1495.00."


We have a 430, but not the WAAS upgrade. We were tabling the issue of
upgrading, since we don't fly enough approaches to justify the
additional cost.

I can't find anything on the Garmin site about increase in cost.

It doesn't surprise me. They have been saying from before they started doing
the upgrades that the cost would be at $1500 only for a limited time.
Announcing that it will be double a year from now should push through a
pretty good amount of cash into their bank account over the next year.

I'm actually a little surprised they've kept the lower rate this long.
