Granted my GPS is ancient but the past few updates have been pretty screwed up. There are a few places where the wrong frequency is listed either for CTAF or AWOS. Anyone else seen this?
that's why you go Garmin. nothing bad ever happens to Garmin
Pretty sure Garmin doesn't care about Bendix/King GPS/database errors

Perhaps you would be so kind as to point out which part of the original post says anything about Bendix or King?
One example from today was the AWOS for KEXX on my KLN90B was the one for KRUQ. I’ve seen the same issue at other airports for both CTAF and AWOS BUT can’t remember exact examples.
Wasn't in the OP, but it was in #4

K= King.Imagine how much more you could know if you did not waste that much brain space by having memorized every model of every radio ever manufactured.
K= King.
G=Garmin
It's almost like those Garmin guys used to work for King or something.

You missed the point. You don't have to "memorize every model." A GXX-XXX can be reasonably guessed to be a Garmin unit. A KXX-XXX is a King unit. Of course, that's about where that sort of thing ends. The joke was that Garmin was founded by Gary Burrell and Min Kao who had worked together at King.
Waitaminute.... It says the 'Aviation Database' EXPIRED on 10 Sep 2020? What date does it think it is now?
Lazy programming.
They didn't want 2 more lines of code.
Aside from the forward-looking programmer, with the obstacle database being out of date is it still legal for IFR?
