The way I understand things:
- Garmin's programmer (P/N: 010-10579-20) works for both the NavData and Obstacle/Terrain cards. For the NavData cards, it will program both the Silver (430W/530W) and Orange (430W/530W) cards but not the Green (430/530) cards.
- For the $324/year (includes tax) pkg for a 430W, Garmin's NavData covers all 50 states.
- Only supports Windows at this time. Mac support is coming any day now (TM).
Compared to Jeppeson:
- The orange labeled Skybound II programmer can only do the Silver and Orange NavData cards. It does not support the Obstacle/Terrain cards.
- For the $469/year (includes tax) pkg for a 430W, Jepp's NavData covers the 48 contiguous states.
- Supports both Windows and Macs.
It seems obvious to go with Garmin's solution but I just want to make sure I'm not missing something here. What say you all?
Thanks,
