Default GARMIN Nav Data Subscription -- REally confused!

Time to renew my GTN 650 Nav Data subscription --- Last year, 465.00 -- this year, I cannot figure out what I get for $299.00 ---- I need IFR/VFR Charts and Approach plates/taxi diagrams -- don't need terrain/obstacles.

Do I get that with the navdata $299.00 subscription?

Thanks for the help --

Ron

Assuming you get terrains and obstacle with your EFIS system, you only need the NAV data subscription to be legal to use GTN-650 GPS for IFR flight. This provides approach, arrival, departure proceedures as well as enroute. It does not provide VFR or IFR charts. I get these charts on the SkyView chart display and on ForeFlight.

Default Carl, thanks --- of course!

I had a brain F*** --- I get my charts from iFly and WingX -- (no EFIS, yet, but will order my AFS 5600T next week).

Default The Subscription You're looking at ....

Covers all airport data, terminal procedures and all IFR Nav data for the U.S (intersections, beacons, VORs, airways, airspace,etc.). It does not include Safe Taxi or Obstacle updates.
