We could enter the data easily enough, but it didn't do the calculation. It just shows 0 kts at 000 degrees. Has anyone else with the upgrade noticed this?

The winds aloft calculation function is inop on my 530W as well. I had a demo from a Garmin rep prior to the upgrade where he demonstrated the 530W interface with an ADC to provide winds in real- time, but I am coming to the conclusion that Garmin forgot to leave the function available if you DON'T have an ADC onboard...
