You need to buy a Skybound USB adaptor and subscribe to Navdata updates all
only available from Jeppesen.

The Skybound USB adaptor including software is $149. NavData is around
$360 for 13 28-day updates.

Be aware that the new WAAS upgrade has an 8mb card instead of the 4mb
card used in the 430. I called Jepp and they don't seem clear whether
the existing USB adaptor will function with the new card.

A related question on WAAS is how one would update the terrain card.
Terrain data comes from Garmin so might require a separate adaptor.

Oooh. Good point. I am a Skybound user now and didn't even give that any
thought until your post.

Why would a card reader limit ones ability to read a larger capacity card?

Isn't a card reader is a dumb device?

Is it the driver software that is the limiting factor?

I wasn't concerned about the reader. I was concerned about having to buy
another card from Jeppesen. Currently I have two cards so that I am able
to easily burn one at home while the other is in the GPS.

With Jeppesen + software + hardware on 2 devices, it would not pay to
assume anything.

I am using a pcmcia card now with skybound and will upgrade to usb only
when I get an unequivocal answer from Jepp.
