February 14, 20242 yr Article suggests it's not really dead yet, you're just going to be increasingly unlikely to be able to get it repaired. When they stop publishing NAV updates for it, THEN it's dead.

When they stop publishing NAV updates for it, THEN it's dead. Nope it’s certain death . I used to own two 430th and serviced them several times. Subscription database is via Jepp’s. So it’s up to them to pull the plug . Again you have to use special card reader vs usb stick with modern units I traded my last one several years ago on Avidyne IFD400. Now it would be harder !

February 15, 20242 yr I expect it's sort like MicroSoft Windows, where support ceases, but you can still use it, at least until your computer suffers a serious failure. My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.

It's not even that support has entirely ceased yet. Garmin will still do repairs if they have the parts but those parts are becoming scarcer.
