Andrew,

I thought that certified terrain for the 530, and noncertified for the
430,
were already available. No?


Would be news to me.

discusses certification for the 530. An early announcement of this feature
for both 430 and 530, with a schedule of availability (from Garmin, so keep

The best bet is to call and ask. Let us know what you find, please. I
spoke to someone at Garmin late last year, I believe, when release of
terrain for both was just weeks away. Whether it actually occurred,
though...
