Thanks Bob,
I guess the best bet is to plug it in and give bit a try?
If anyone knows of any documentation as to how to load an airspeed and location like we do for the GNC 300XL. I would sure appreciate getting that information.
I like to go over a strange approach before I actually fly it. When the simulator was being updated regularly, that worked pretty well. Now that Garmin has ceased updating their downloadable simulator, most of the approaches I want to use are out of date in the simulator. If I use my aircraft set in Demo mode, I can use my current database.
Happy Skies

When you've got demo mode selected the 430W comes up and shows that it's receiving data from all satellites (kind of a spiral pattern on the satellite view screen). At that point you treat it just like it was in your plane - enter a flight plan, select an approach, etc. There's a way to select present position but I don't remember how off the top of my head. Once the flight plan is entered the unit makes turns as necessary to track it and you can watch the screen update, make changes, select approaches, etc. just like you are in the plane.
BTW, if you've seen the Commander units for panel mount GPSs, all they are is a power supply and cable that plugs into the back of the GPS. On the 430/530 series they ground the demo mode pin in addition to supplying power.

Hi Bakerocb,
Sorry for the late reply. We took a trip from our home base in So. Cal. to Carlsbad, NM. We just got back tonight after 5 hours flighting turbulence and 50 knt headwind. That is a story for another day.
The demo mode is activated by grounding pin 75 when power up. Once up, you can access "Demo Setup" screen by hitting "MENU" key until it shows up. From this "Demo Setup" screen, you can enter TRK, GS, POS, ALT, VS, and select to "MOVE" or "STOP". Make your desired changes then "ENT" follow by "MENU" for changes to take place.
The PC trainer is easy to use and you can leave your 400W in your plane. But I am new to the Garmin 400W world and I just want to play with my 420W from the comfort of my home. Your choice 
Regards,
Robin Hou

Hello Robin, Please tell me more about this demo mode. How does one get into it
and use it? I can't find out anything about it in my 430W manual.
If you have the Garmin trainer on your computer how does the demo mode compare
to the trainer?
Thanks.
