Garmin USB Aviation Data Card Programmer permits the updating of Garmin Navigation, Terrain and Obstacle databases on legacy GNS 430/530 series and GNS 430W/530W series navigators, using a data card paired to those devices.
The programmer allows customers to transfer databases from flyGarmin.com to data cards more efficiently by offering improved performance as well as RoHS compliance. It provides greatly enhanced transfer speeds — up to 80 percent faster — ensuring customers spend less time in front of the computer.
The programmer is backwards compatible with previous Terrain data cards, so a new data card is not required. The programmer comes with a USB cable.
Pilots requiring Jeppesen aviation data updates for GNS 430/530 series and GNS 430W/530W series should note those databases can only be programmed by a Jeppesen Skybound USB programmer.
Garmin part number 010-10579-20 (formerly part 010-10579-00)
NOTE: This does NOT include your database updates or data card (pictured for reference only). It is the data card programmer only.
Please note this programmer is not compatible with Mac operating systems.

Still Not Working

Works great
- By William on Wednesday, October 07, 2020
- Pros: Easy to configure - save bucks on chart subscriptions for the average Private Pilot
- Review: Previous owner used the Jep programmer for the G 430W. The databases from Garmin are a much better deal for my flying. Before ordering I did call Garmin Support and was assured switching to the Garmin Programmer wasn't going to screw up my data cards. Had to load the data twice on the first round of updates but after that - "took" first time. First use in the Garmin itself - thought there was going to be a problem reading the card. Turned off unit, reinserted the card, and on second try .. success. No problems since. So, if you have a problem initially, do try again. Happy I got this unit - saving big dollars on chart subscriptions.

Works great on Win10, but only on PC; won't work on Mac w/Fusion
- By Chris from San Carlos CA USA on Thursday, May 24, 2018
- Pros: Works as promised

Review:
The product works as promised on Windows 10 PC.
However, also as noted, can't work on Windows 10 on a Mac running VMware Fusion. The USB drivers don't seem to work, for whatever reason, and this is something Garmin says on its website as well. As a long-standing Fusion user, and someone who gets everything USB to work on the Mac, this is the first product I've seen that really does NOT work under Fusion.
So if you have a PC, buy with confidence. If you only have a Mac, better find a PC before you buy.
