Will Garmin continue supporting 430?

Aircraft owners with units that have not been upgraded still have an opportunity to do so if they wish. Garmin is discontinuing WAAS GPS upgrades to its popular GNS 430 navigator and other products in the GNS 400/500 line. The GNS 430 was made from 1998 to early 2012. Photo by Mike Fizer.

What is the difference between WAAS and non-WAAS?

WAAS GPS gives you more options with planning alternate airports. The Garmin 430W (the WAAS version of your unit) has five times the refresh rate of the non-WAAS 430, so it responds more quickly. It has a more sophisticated terrain warning system that can predict where you’re moving in three dimensions.

Does the Garmin 430 have WAAS?

GNS 430W is an all-in-one GPS/Nav/Comm solution that features a WAAS-certified GPS, 2280-channel capacity comm and 200-channel ILS/VOR with localizer and glideslope. High-speed 5 Hz processing makes navigation calculations and map redraw rates 5 times faster than earlier GNS series navigators.
