skykrawler Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 I've been using Jeppesen for navigation databases for a number of years going back to my old GPSMAP 195. Of course Garmin now sells navigation databases (at a better value) and I'm trying to figure out if FlyGarmin application can download navigation data to the 430W card using the JDM device, or whether I need to buy the Garmin device. I read conflicting information. Does anybody know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the same boat, but I figured going from $450/year to $299/year meant that I paid for the new writer in the first year. You *can* continue using the Jeppesen cards.

skykrawler Posted May 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Thanks, seems like a definitive answer. I've been buying just the eastern half from Jepp - furthest west I have been is KOSH. But I have plans.... In the overall scheme of things, the difference in price is a pittance, but it will buy beer or whisky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
