430W database "expired" in the future???

[hish747]

I just noticed that when my Garmin 430w powers up it says:

"Aviation Database Expired 08-DEC-2016"

Has anyone else seen this issue? Any idea how to fix? Was this a problem with a certain version of the system software that may be fixed in an update? It may not seem like a big deal but it makes me wonder if something else is wrong as well.
Thanks,
Hish

Wow that is weird

Does it think the "current time" is after Dec 8, 2016 somehow?

Garmin has an alert out on it. The update to fix it is available

I've searched for it but couldn't find it. I would appreciate a link if you have it.
Thanks

I googled "Garmin 430 expired date". There is a link that comes up showing the 430 as one of the affected units. When you go to that link it describes it but doesn't specifically say the 430 again. If I still had a 430 I would do an update "now" just like I usually do every 28 days. I'll bet there is an update for this there in JSUM or whatever it s called now. Let us know how it goes.

Edit: I meant I would do it now, the same way I do the usual 28 day cycle updates. Added "now" to the above

I see that on my 430 (upgraded to W). I confirm the date and go on ahead.

Please post a resolution if you find one.

Thanks.

I feel like I see that first thing after I update the database at the first start up. Never gave much thought to it since it goes away.

I see it if I install an update before its effective date. I don't think that's what at work here, though, because we're well past the effective date of the current cycle.

A friend of mine updates his unit the same day I do (before the effective date) but he doesn't have this issue.

My 430W doesn't have that screen. The database From and To dates show up as white text on a blue screen, and is all by itself, requiring an Enter to proceed on. The terrain database date is on a prior screen, also white on blue, and lasts a couple of seconds.
