Due to multiple component availability limitations, comprehensive repair service for Garmin’s GNS 430/530 series, including all GPS/COMM and GPS only variants, as well as WAAS models, is estimated to become limited in the years ahead. Initially these limitations are estimated to impact a small percentage of repairs beginning in 2024. Garmin will communicate specific repair limitations as they need to be implemented.

First introduced in 1998, Garmin has offered repair service for the GNS 430/530 series for 25 years. Garmin plans to continue offering repair service when the components required for a specific repair remain available. Database updates and technical support will not be impacted by these changes to GNS repair services.

GNS 430/530 customers should begin to consider their transition strategy to the newest generation of Garmin products, including the widely adopted GTN Xi series, GNX 375 or GNC 355. To assist customers in this transition, Garmin is offering a trade-in program that is detailed below. This program will be available through June 30, 2023.
