No nav data in Custom Data\GNS430\NavData

I just copied over the GNS430 folder (see path above) from XP10 to XP11, and discovered there was no data contained in it.  I checked the XP10 location and found the same. I did a search and it appears as though XP10 must have been reading nav data from another location X-Plane 10/Resources) for all of my add ons.  I assume that XP11 doesn't offer this option (at least for now), so it's essential to get access to the datasets in the Custom Data\GNS430\Navdata location.

 

My question- where do I get the nav data from to put into Custom Data\GNS430\Navdata?  Is this what I can purchase from a 3rd party provider (Navigraph, AeroSoft)?

 

Thanks,  Bruce.

XP11 uses a completely different Nav data format. No GnS430 folder. That's what I've come to understand and that's not saying much,

Thanks Adrian, and that explains why this folder didn't exist in XP11.

 

What I am trying to do is to give the XP10 planes I have imported to XP11 a nav data source. I assume I need to purchase the data?

 

Thanks, Bruce

OK- so thinking this through I just copied over the files in XP10\Resources\GNS430\NavData to XP11\Custom Data\GNS430\Navdata and it seems to work-  although I probably should update the data via Navigraph at some point to make it current.

I know that the CRJ-200 still uses the GNS430\Navdata folder even in XP11, so i'm sure other planes do too. I just added the folder manually and then added it to the Navigraph FMS Data Manager program so it gets updated.
