Default Source for Garmin 430 NAV data

Just wondering, is there any other source for providing the monthly data base update for the Garmin 430 other than Jeppesen?

I have been using them for the last 4 years or so but was wondering if they are the only game in town? Is there an alternative and possibly cheaper source?

Thanks in advance

Right here on VAF. A gentleman who goes by 'Cirruspilot' sells them very reasonably, by the month...matter of fact. I believe I saw him advertising on here earlier today.

Best,

I had talked to him previously, a very nice gentleman. But I don't think his price is less than Jespersen and it would involve shipping your card to him when you get his data card. That would be good for an occasional monthly update but not for an on-going bases.

Same here...full USA navdata *and* terrain and obstacle data for just about the same price that Jepp was charging for just the nav data.

Granted, it's still WAY overpriced given that the data is collected by the government using tax money, but at least we're not stuck with only Jepp now.

Default Anyone still doing this?

I had previously purchased updates, via card swap from Don Ivener, however he seems to not be doing this anymore....is there anyone on this site picking up the torch?
