The upgrade is free to 2004, 2005 and 2006 Cessna G1000 owners, including a
labor allowance for installation. Mine was installed today; I'll report on
how it works this weekend.

You can thank the Citation Mustang program for that.

Yep. Lots of the new features in this software came from the Mustang.
One cool one is the moving map in the reversionary mode. I'm also
told that the older (4/5/6) aircraft will now couple to the KAP140 fly
PT and holds-in-lieu just like the 07s.

Airways work fine. Just like the CNX80 etc, select airway, select
exit waypoint, it fills in everything inbetween.

Now if only they'd get a clue and put them into the 430/530 software
the wold would be a much happier place for those where airways are the
norm rather than the exception......
