OK, I had to read that again. I WAS mistaken. I misread the part about
"owners of the GNS 400W and 500W." I thought for a second I was going to
save $1,500 since I have yet to upgrade to WAAS...

Damn...

Ha, if only....

This software update is addressing a few bugs within the code that were
introduced by upgrading to WAAS; namely, the winds aloft calculator broke and
there were issues with replacing one approach with another in the flight
plan.

My 296 showed winds of 280 knots the other day. It has WAAS so I
wonder if I have the same bug.

The winds aloft bug in the 430W/530W is that it does NOT calculate winds
aloft. Enter all parameters, and winds aloft remains zero degrees at zero
knots.
