If I see a difference between my 430W GPS and the ForFlight info, I =
follow
FF because I know it's current.  There have been a couple of times when =
I
was putting my flight plan into the 430 and a waypoint didn't come up.  =
At
that point I have to cross check with FF on the iPad to see what a good
waypoint would be and then put that in the 430.  Other times I just use =
the
iPad alone.  But, for the most part, my flights are about 2-3 hours so I =
can
usually go direct from A to B.  I use strictly the iPad w/FF for =
terminal
procedures (approaches, SID, STAR, DP, etc.) so it's not a problem.

So this gets to the question of exactly what can change in the gps data
base.
I assume waypoints can come and go and new procedures show up, or get
enhanced with vnav.
How do you deal with that?
