I am in the process of "wish-listing" my avionics and panel gadgets.
The Garmin 430/530 approach is a nice option, but at a steep price. I noticed that GRT sells an "internal WAAS enabled" GPS option with their EFIS.. and its only $450.00!
I realize that nothing in life is free, but what are the real differences? Most of the "overhead" components are already in place with an EFIS, so it seems that all they are providing is a receiver and a little bit of integration software. I guess that's why they can get the price down.
Does anybody have specific experience with the GRT GPS option and could you tell me why I shouldn't buy that instead of the $9000.00 430?
