I fly over glorified hills (called the White Mountains, Smoky Mountains, Appalachian Mountains...) on the east coast of ...

I paid about $16k for the WAAS upgrade. I think it was over $20k last time someone mentioned it. But I don't think you can do it anymore. I know for the G1000 planes, WAAS upgrades are no longer generally available. Garmin does not sell the parts, they are keeping what inventory they have left to s...
