Garmin Australian Charts Available

I too welcome this from a Garmin, and thank them. They probably now realise why so many of us in Australia have a low opinion of CASA (our equivalent of FAA).
I had become resigned to it never happening after so long.
One off purchases are within my budget for avionics and the 660.
I still will keep Ozrunways, as it and AvPlan are superb apps and the traffic/tracking is invaluable.

Hi Richard,

Whilst I don't deny that bureaucracy can be a little difficult to deal with at times in Australia, my point is that this road has been paved by a number of parties already. Given that I am a lifelong addict of Garmin equipment, I would blindly hand over 100% more money for updates compared to what their competitors are asking, but to ask 700% more to update two devices in my panel compared to what other companies are offering for a similar solution I think really stretches the love. Don't get me wrong, I love the G3X Touch/Aera 660 combo (ok, there are a few other bits of Garmin Wizzidary in there also) and it's run flawlessly. Building the avionics/electrical system was the most enjoyable part of my entire build, it's just that I think there is still room to improve on the database costing side to bring it in line with the competition here in Australia. I don't mind paying a healthy premium to feed my Garmin addiction but in my mind it just shouldn't be an order of magnitude more. First world problems really. Perhaps I just need to stop sounding like a brat and just get back to fixing climate change.

Tom.

So how do I download Australian VTC, VNC and WAC for my 795. Garmin website flygarmin is really clunky.
