Why is a new version of the software is required and what changes it will
introduce ?
I don't know what v3.0 firmware for the 480 will bring. The current 480
firmware is 2.1, so 3.0 should have some significate enhancements. I
just got this from the support guys when I was upgrading to 2.1
When did Garmin announced that they will "continue development and
support
for the 480" ?
What do all the aircraft fitted with only dual 430/530's use for primary
enroute navigation under instrument rules ?
What ever they have been using. Could be VOR for example.
I do believe that the updated software for the 480 is required to cure
existing problems found with the 480 during /W certification for the
430/530 units ?
The VOR portion is an integral part of the 430/530 so I would dispute that
the 430/530's are certified for enroute in a normal certified IFR
installation.
Am I wrong again ?
