I wish that were true.
Currently Dynon have arranged access to Airservices Aust Maps through Ozrunways and Avplan as resellers.

Garmin steadfastly refuse to arrange any access to our local maps/charts.

Garmin appear to have decided to punish Australian customers as a tactic because they are pissed off with Airservices refusing to allow 3rd party companies free access to their mapping product.

Dynon, to their credit, have shown a way it can be done at no expense to themselves other than enabling it in their software. They are responsive and supportive of their non US customers. Garmin not so.
