Garmin 430/530 and WAAS: Delayed again?

Andrew,

I thought that certified terrain for the 530, and noncertified for the 430,
were already available. No?


Would be news to me.

TAWS has been available for the 530 for a bit, actually.

discusses certification for the 530. An early announcement of this feature
for both 430 and 530, with a schedule of availability (from Garmin, so keep
that salt grain handy {8^) is at:

The best bet is to call and ask. Let us know what you find, please. I
spoke to someone at Garmin late last year, I believe, when release of
terrain for both was just weeks away. Whether it actually occurred,
though...

Well here is news for you:

I have certified terrain (TAWS) on my 530.

Mike and all,

Cool, thanks! I must have missed that. I'll check with Garmin regarding
the 430, which is my primary interest.
