Hello,
Maybe someone can chime in regarding GPS choices.
In the middle of installing a 430W which was bought new in December.
Only have the antenna installed (same antenna GTN650 uses)
and am making a wire harness, so basically the 430 is still new in the box.
I am pondering selling the new 430W (taking a $1+k loss i assume)
and buying a new GTN 650.
Questions.. in a nutshell and simple explanation. what will the 650
give me other than the touchscreen. I read it now has airways?
Otherwise it doesnt look too much different than the 430?
I also worry about future ADS-B compatability as well as support from Garmin.
Even though Garmin says it will sell the 430w new for a few more years, I am hearing from several people it is already been listed in the discontinued section of Garmins website.
My biggest concern is I will spend the $8k to put this 430W in and
a year from now I will be needing or wanting the 650.
I am connecting the 430W to a 496 panel mounted.
So I will have all the features of the 496 as well.
