After getting back from a 4 week trip flying around Florida and visiting friends, I've resolved that I'm no longer willing to manually input flight plans to my 430W. I know that I can trade in the 430W and upgrade to a IFD 440 which comes with wifi and BT for about $6000 with virtually no installation costs. Or I can purchase and have installed a Flightstream 210 to interface with my current GNS 430W for probably $1500 to $2000.
Obviously, having a Flightstream 210 installed and keeping the 430W is going to be the least expensive option. But I'm interested to know if anyone has traded in their 430W for a 440, and if they feel the 440 is a better unit regardless of being able to sync flight plans from their tablets.
Frankly, I'm very happy with the 430W that I have. I just want to be able to sync flight plans from ForeFlight.
Thanks
John
