WAAS upgrade info for Garmin 430
I called the shop today that installed my Garmin 430 and asked about
WAAS. They offered 2 approaches. 1. Get the upgrade. Cost is $1500 + $95 freight (!) + $100 to install a different antenna. Terrain is an additional $500. Availability is uncertain. 2. Replace the entire unit (2 years old). Antenna replacement is still required, but terrain is only $250 extra on the new units - total cost about $2200. New units are available now. Living in the midwest, I'm ambivalent about the value of the terrain info. That apparently resides on the second data card, so I assume it's another annual fee to Jeppesen. |
