Hi,

Has anyone had the opportunity to use a Garmin 430/530 north of the
60th parallel?


Yep.

I am not finding anything in the Garmin manual and I know that
satellite coverage is questionable


No it isn't. You won't notice any difference in sattelite coverage.

, I am just wondering how it would
affect day-to-day operations.


If you go much farther north than Iqaluit, the geographical moving map
(shorelines, towns, roads, etc) disappears, but all the Jepp data is
still there.
