I just bought myself an RV-8 that has a GNS 430 non-waas navigator in it. I don't want to upgrade but I do want new data in it. I did get the NavData updated. Garmin sells the supplementary data (terrain and obstacles), but not NavData. I already had the Jeppesen programmer but I had to get on the phone to get the subscription started. The website was no help. Maybe because its a bad site, maybe I couldn't figure it out, or maybe they just handle these old systems manually. Bottom line: subscription is active and card is programmed. I can navigate /G!
The terrain and obstacle data is now giving me fits. I figured a phone call to Gamin would fix it, but their call system is down because of their ransomware attack. So, maybe someone here knows... I was able to buy the terrain and obstacle databases on the Garmin site, but they won't program into my card. The part number is 011-00460-10. I expect that the card is too old and won't hold the data. There are two other part numbers I have found on the web: 010-10201-20 and 010-10201-21. I have a -21 in my GNS 530W in another plane. Will that card work in the non-WAAS 430? I realize I can't just share the data, but if i program the card with the 430 data, will it work? I can I re-program it with the 530W later and it work in the 530W?
