Wow, that really blows my mind. They've got it in the 480 (via the
Apollo/UPSAT acquisition), and it's one of the best features of that box.
It's staggering that they left it out of the G1000.

Garmin may thing airways are obsolete, but nobody's told ATC about that
yet, at least not around where I fly.

The guy who runs the 400/500/1000 program has always been hard-over
against an airway database.
