An article (actually, a sidebar to an article) in the July IFR magazine
says
"According to AIM 1-1-20 (f)(7), by omission, you can't just input the VOR
as the active waypoint....," and "...according to this passage, the FAA
allows GPS to substitute for everything except for a VOR. For some reason,
the FAA has faith in its VORs and won't let you substitute GPS for them as
a
primary means of navigation."

Maybe this is why Garmin does not include VOR-based airways.


Garmin panel mount units have airways.

More likely the reason airways are not included in the handhelds is the
limitation on memory for the database.

Most do not. The ONLY panel mount Garmin that has airways is the CNX-80.
