Jack, it seems to me that no one from Garmin is saying much about the
availability of the WAAS upgrade either.
They did indicate in early 2004 that the upgrade would be available in Oct
2004 and would involve hardware and software with a cost around $1,500.
Unless I have been asleep, Garmin missed their Oct 2004 date.
They appear to be busy with other upgrades for the 530 and leaving their 430
loyal customers out in the cold.
I need to decide very soon which unit to fit, so I am now supposing that the
GNS480 is the way to go for my new installation.
I am surprised that Bendix have not announced another certified all in one
box WAAS enabled to provide some competition for Garmin.

Are Garmin shipping the GNS430 with WAAS yet ?

Another ? - Anyone know how much the WAAS upgrade for a GNS430 might be?
Even a ballpark estimate.
