"WAAS Upgradable" was a very prominent part of their advertising. If they
choose not to offer an upgrade, it becomes "non" WAAS upgradable. I imagine
this was part of the decision process for many (if not most) folks who
puchased the 430 or 530.

I'm not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV but at the very least a whole bunch
of people would demand their money back or some return compensation for
having to switch to another box for WAAS. While not technically a lawsuit,
it will still hit them in the same spot--their bank account.

On a side note, I don't know about what you've seen, but just because it's
nonesense, it doesn't mean it's lawsuit-proof.

Sue them because they woundn't upgrade their product ? Nonsense. They

never
garanteed they would support every new feature that comes out. I own a

430,
I would not participate. Its utter nonsense.

Yea, they advertised WAAS upgradability when I bought mine. I assumed it
was hype. I was right ! What do I win ?

WAAS upgrade does not mean you gain the improved approach capability.
Garmin 196/296s have WAAS but they are a handheld.
