I find loading my flight plans into the GNS 430W to be tedious at best and taking WAY too much time. Is there a better way? I’ve read there’s a way to do my flight planning on my computer and then transfer it to the aviation database card with a USB connector of some sort (but not the same one used to update the database). When I talk to my local Garmin dealer, their response is along the lines of, “Huh, we haven’t heard of that.” So, they called Garmin Support and got me a non-existent part number for an “Aviation Data Card Programmer Kit” to the tune of $449. Does anybody have info on how this is done, or even IF it can be done?

Nothing is foolproof to the sufficiently talented fool.
