For anyone with a 430W/530W who might be interested, I upgraded the firmware on my 430W today to the version 5.10. I can confirm the approaches listed above are now present and selectable with this latest firmware upgrade.

Not ever doing anything except updating a data base card on my 430W, how do we update the firmware?

There are 2 data cards on the left side of the 430's. The furthest left one is the navdata card you are accustomed to updating. In order to update the firmware you need a firmware card which to my knowledge only Garmin dealers have access to. The 430 is powered off, both cards are removed, the firmware card is inserted in the right slot, the 430 is powered on while pressing enter, a statement appears asking if you wish to update the firmware, you press enter, power the 430 off. At this point it should be done but mine required this sequence be done a second time and my dealer said it requires this sequence twice every time they do a firmware update.

I was trying a practice rnav approach with gtn 650 last week at Kbuu and wondered why they were not showing up on the unit. Now I know. Thanks.
