First introduced in 1997, Garmin's GNS series revolutionized the general aviation cockpit. The GNS430 combined a full-color GPS moving map and a standard navigation and communications transceiver in a compact package that could easily integrate with existing cockpits. Two years later it was joined by a big-screen sibling, the GNS530. Together these systems brought an advanced level of navigational capability and enhanced safety to pilots everywhere, and they've been wildly successful with over 100,000 units installed to date.

Based on the same technology as the Working Title G1000 NXi, Working Title bring to you their highly accurate simulation of the WAAS-enabled GNS 430W and 530W. Installing this package will upgrade any plane using the original GNS430 or 530 to the new code shipped with Aircraft and Avionics Update 1 (AAU1), bringing enhanced navigational accuracy and capability to your flying.

Please note that some aircraft, especially those that support a hot-swap between the GNS and other avionics systems (such as a third-party GTN navigator), may need updates from their developers to work fully with this version of the GNS. Users of those aircraft should either remove the third-party addon from the community folder or this version of the GNS from their Content Manager in MSFS. Developers should look at the GNS developer notes available on our website at http://www.workingtitle.aero/packages/gns/guides for further information.
