I use a Garmin GNC300XL, religiously updated via Jeppesen every 28 days
to keep it IFR leagal. A few cycles back one of our local airports
popped up 50 MILES from its actual location. I notified both Jepp and
Garmin, and got quite a bit of run around.

Be careful out there.

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my out of date approach charts with the online versions and noticed that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.

Remove SHIRT to reply directly.
