Remember that there are likely additional charges to the $1495. A new
antenna to receive the WAAS and possibly a new RF antenna cable with
lower loss will need to be installed.

Having said that, we debated the choices in my partnership and went
ahead with it. Beyond the approach capabilities, the advantages we used
to rationalize it we

Much new hardware inside (for whatever that is worth)
Addition of a decent terrain warning map
Much faster updates to track (maybe 5 Hz)

This last one might be of use in IMC with gyro problems.

" 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.
