Subject: Re: [LML] Re: Garmin GNS480 compared to Garmin 530

I've used both the 430/530 and GNS480/CNX80.  As far as operating them goes=
, they are totally different.  Since you learned to operate a 430, you woul=
d have a pretty big learning curve to translate to the GNS480.  I like them=
 both, and actually prefer the 480 because it does more, but then again it'=
s much harder to learn if you plan to use the entire range of features.  If=
 you are thinking about a MX20 (or the new GMX200), then I would recommend =
the GNS480 since they were designed to operate together.  The GNS480 is mor=
e of a Flight Management System than the GNS430.  You can input airways in =
the GNS480 where you can't on the 430 too.=20=20=20
