You might check out the AvMap EKP IV at www.avmapnavigation.com They have Victor Airways, and a nice screen to boot. Waiting on weather which is promised in the next month or so. They were demoing it at OSH.

The 430 and 530 don't; the 480 does. It's really annoying for me because I fly several Garmin equipped planes that won't allow you to put in airways. There is no valid excuse for not having this. I was hoping that Bendix-King would produce a unit to knock the Garmin 530 off its perch, but so far they are a no-show.
