One small but very handy thing the 530 DOES do is the
"DME" display. At the bottom left, it tells you the distance and radial to the currently tuned VOR (you may need a software upgrade to get this, I believe it was introduced some time in 2002). This is as good as having a real DME for things which are somewhat auxiliary to actual navigation, like knowing how far you are from the center of Class B (invaluable for flying near SFO for example). John "Richard Kaplan" wrote in message s.com... "Mike Rapoport" wrote in message ink.net... The 530 has an "arc view" map page that the 430 does not. I find it to be the most useful moving map page and use it all the time. As I said, the 530 is easier to use but does not contain any functionality that the 430 does not, i.e. there is no approach or other IFR function the 530 does that the 430 cannot do. Sort of like the difference between an HSI vs. a DG and CDI... the HSI is easier to use but does not give any additional functionality. -- Richard Kaplan, CFII www.flyimc.com
