Did Garmin promise an eventual upgrade to WAAS when you bought your 530?
For the record: YES!!! I spoke with not only the distributor rep, but the Garmin aviation marketing manger, and one of Garmin's engineering reps. They ALL assured me, at the time, a WAAS upgrade was "in the works" and anticipated shortly after the final TSO was released. I didn't take the word of the sales rep. I went straight to Olathe, KS, and the corporate guys were the ones that assured me of upgrades in a "reasonable" amount of time. Of course, that was damn near 3 years ago now... About the BEST piece of advice I got was from a sales rep regarding the ill-fated GDL-49 when it came out, "Don't buy it, Garmin doesn't seem to have a handle on the product yet"...
