430 database.

Is there still someone doing database updates?

just search garmin 430 database update and you will find a lot of information. Detailed info and videos on how to do it.

You mean like me? I still have a 430W, keep the data base current. Two options for annual subscription: Garmin at $300, Jepp at $450.

 

[jrs14855]

If its a waas unit american gps in palm beach area will do it. They cannot do the non waas. Search ebay for more options.

Lots of people. I just did an update today. Garmin says they plan on supporting the 430 for “decades.”

this regards the 430-w only?

this regards the 430-w only?

Not sure. I'll see if I can dig up the interview with the Garmin guy.

Last I checked, the database updates were still available for the 430 using the same basic process (though not the same cards...) as for the 430W. But I haven't looked at that in a while.

Here's the interview.

Jeff, There is still a guy who will sell you a one time update at a reasonable price. Reply if interested.

Is there a difference in the WAAS vs non-WAAS databases? I just bought a programmer and recently did a 1-time update on my database from 2017 to current in my non-WAAS GPS 400 (same as 430 but without the NAV/COM) and it seems to be working just fine(panel building, but not flying yet). This is the first I heard of a database difference?

All I know is American GPS says they can't do non WAAS 430 at this time.

Ok interesting, well something I will try learn some more about. Thanks for bringing it up!

It’s definitely a different card for WAAS versus non-WAAS. Might also be a different card reader/programmer. But it’s almost certainly the same nav database.

Thanks! This is what my Non-WAAS setup looks like (GPS400). Card came with the unit I bought used a couple years ago. Got the writer at the Garmin tent in KOSH this year. I think Garmin went above and beyond to help me get started and I had zero issues using the account they set up for me and transferring an update onto my card. My GPS is installed and it's interfacing nicely. Just a bunch more airplane to build before I get to really enjoy the setup...

 

[Jeff Bost]

I do WAAS and Non WAAS 430 updates with the same card reader. There’s no difference or mystery.
