I am a CFII who does training with the Garmin 430 system which we recently
installed in both of our flying club's 172's. I am interested in purchasing
some interactive training software to teach the GPS on the ground instead of
having our heads in the cockpit during flight.

I have looked at VFlight and Electronic Flight packages and I believe that the
King catalog offers another. Does anyone have any experience with these
software packages? If so I would appreciate any input you may be able tp
provide.

The free garmin simulator is quite interactive. It behaves just like
the real thing. In fact, I am willing to bet that the engine behind
the simulator is the same as the one in the real unit. I have not used
any other products, but I don't see what else they could offer that
the garmin software doesn't. Perhaps you are looking for a flight
simulator that has a garmin 430.
