Updating A Garmin Gns530/430
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?

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