Updating A Garmin Gns530/430

[silvereagle]

I wonder if any of you can help..................

I need to update a Garmin GNS 530 and 430. My research so far has taken me to the Garmin web site where I am told to go to the Jeppesen web site. The Jepp site contains nothing about GPS updates.

I have updated my own 296 many times via the web but the 530/430 seems more of a challenge.

Any ideas?

You will need a Jeppesen Programmer and software and a subscription with Jeppesen to update it.

I'm not very technical, so I sent the little card thing to Harry Mendelssohn who very efficiently updated it for me :ok:

Yep, me too on the HM method. Works out cheaper if you are going for occassional (annual) updates. I think it was around £100 the last time.

My subscription with Jepps costs about £250 per annum and I get 13 updates sent during theyear. Once you have paid for the subscription, you download the Jeppesen Services Update Manager (JSUM) from the website and they send you a little gizmo which plugs into a USB slot and the Garmin 430 chip goes in the other end.

Once you have it set up it is very easy to do.
