As I was preparing for an angel flight to Savannah last week, I compared my out
of date approach charts with the online versions and noticed that all the
approaches using the SAV VOR had changed, and what's more, the VOR itself had
moved about 5 miles west. No problem, just print new charts from myairplane.com
(thanks, myairplane.com!) and off we go.

It looks like the VOR was moved from a position about 5 miles NE of the airport
to a new location just off the departure end of runway 36.

I thought this would be a good excuse to download a new database for my Garmin
196, so went to the Garmin site and downloaded cycle 0311, available now, and
scheduled to be effective October 30, two days from now. Surprise! The VOR is
still shown in its old location in the new database.

There is nothing about the error in the JeppAlerts section on the Garmin web site.

I've notified Garmin of the error, will notify Jepp and AOPA shortly.

I'm curious whether people with IFR navigators using Jepp data see the error.

The old location was apparently: 32-09.635N / 081-06.755W the new location is
apparently 32-08-46.560N / 081-11-56.780W.
