I don't know what GPS you're talking about but the database updates for
our Garmin 430 are only around 300 bucks per year..

course... but consider that just the database updates for an IFR-certified GPS are
nominally $600-$1200/year (depending on the model). That's about as much as the
*insurance* on my bird.... for training you don't *need* that.
