Garmin GNS430 & WAAS

Mike,

Yes, we are. We like gagets.


Now THAT makes total sense ;-)

Dude,

As many as possible


You're right. The point I was trying to make is that the pressure to
convert an existing 430 installation to WAAS in most cases won't be
real urgent yet. But it will no doubt become more and more useful to
have.

Gotta agree with that. I am putting off my purchase until something happens,
which I suspect it will at OSH. I am going to be doing more mountain flying
though, and would want the terrain feature. However, if you pay to upgrade
now for terrain, you are just going to be back in the shop for WAAS later.

I can wait for OSH since I only have an old mono GPS in my stack as it is.

Dude,

I think it is a self defense mechanism so we don't have to
beat ourselves up for making a bad buy.


Yep. Except, for some guys, it becomes a job defense mechanism. That's
worse...

I have seen it get worse for those in the industry, but you can usually get
a decent sales guy to give you a reasonably straight answer. Management,
Marketing, and Principals are the worst. The sales guy wants to sell you
again when he moves to the next company, the others play the numbers more.
