Recent plane purchase...
I have a Garmin GNS 430W with a very out of date nav database.
The 430W has just been updated to the latest system software though, 5.4.
I want to do a one-time update, nav info, procedures, etc. Standard stuff, not the terrain card.
The data card, removed from the unit, is "IFRW" with both Garmin and Jeppesen on the label. I have a Jeppesen Skybound blue programmer.
It looks like I can buy a nav update from the Garmin site but have to get a different card programmer. Or, I can buy it from Jeppeson (maybe) and use the one I have. Is this correct, I am confused!
Jeppesen "chat" support sucks. You get in the queue, it slowly counts down to you, then says "All agents are currently busy. Try again later." Happened multiple times.
