This is for anyone that is flying with a Garmin 430...
Now that I have been flying for a week, I have finally started to look inside the cockpit (at something other than engine instrumentation!), and have noticed that the map on my 430 is not displaying any airspace data - No class B lines, no navaids, airports, etc. I have a working database, because I can "Go To" airports and such - but the only thing on the map page is black space with blue water at the coastline and lakes.
I bought my unit brand new a bit over a year ago, and while it came with a database, I did not get a subscription at the time, figuring there was no use spending $400 for a year which I wouldn't be using. I am going to subsribe this week, but am wondering if the out-of-date database is causing my lack of map data, or is it another problem? I can't find anything on this in the manual, and have already gone to the "set map" menu and restored all defaults.
Anybody?
