jeppesen updates for the Garmin waas units
You will also find that the TAS and wind calculations on the 530w wont work
either.. Garmin said it will be fixed in the next software release. Funny how an ifr certified unit can have functions that don't work as they should.. Even though TAS calculations are not required it kind of makes me wonder if there is anything else that doesn't work and they didn't tell anybody about !! "Viperdoc" wrote in message ... The 530W is apparently missing some previous nice features of the legacy units- namely, on the main nav page you can display lightning, but not nexrad. Also, on the older units you could show nexrad and lightning on the same page, but on the 530W you can only look at lightning. On the map page, but not the main nav page you can display both, as before. What gives with this? Why are we losing functionality with the supposed upgrade? My avionics guy called Garmin on this, and got some weak answer about range, or some such, which if true, should have also been the case in the legacy units. I'm picking up my 530W/430W installation this Wednesday, so should have more info at that time. |

The auto range does not work on the 530 W either.
Worse, the nexrad doesn't show up on the main nav page- a terrible overisght. |
