I am trying to get a group of Garmin GPS III Pilot owners together to
share the expenses of Jeppesen database upgrades. The normal cost to
upgrade the database is listed in the email reply below direct from
garmin. As you can see below the minimum cost direct from Garmin is
$75 per update. I am trying to work a deal so that members will pay
$50 per year to recieve a monthly update disk so that your database
will always be current. Email if you are interested.

Email from Garmin:
> I did a little research on this for you.  The repair cost if you send 
> the unit in through the prduct support department for update is $150.  
> If you order a single update for your computer from the marketing 
> department you will pay $130.  If you join the program for 3 updates 
> through the marketing deopartment you will pay $225.  You have basicly 
> got 3 options.
     
>     1) send the unit in to us for updates for $150
>     2) order a single update for $130
>     3) order the 3 updates for $225.
     
>     The database is updated every 28 days by Jeppesen, and the average 
>     user updates every 6-12 months depending on uses.  

>     Thank you and best Regards,
