UPDATING DATABASES
The Garmin database updates can be obtained by following the instructions detailed in the 'Aviation
Databases' section of the Garmin website (fly.garmin.com). Once the updated files have been downloaded
from the website, a PC equipped with an appropriate SD card reader is used to unpack and program the new
databases onto an existing Supplemental Data Card. Equipment required to perform the update is as follows:
• Windows-compatible PC computer
• SD Card Reader: SanDisk SDDR-93, SanDisk SDDR-99, Verbatim #96504, or equivalent
• Updated database obtained from the Garmin website
• Supplemental SD Cards
In some cases it may be necessary to obtain an unlock code from Garmin in order to make the database
product functional. It may also be necessary to have the system configured by a Garmin authorized service
facility in order to use some database features.
In order to load databases through Garmin Pilot and the Flight Stream 510, the Flight Stream 510 must be
enabled on the system and inserted in the bottom SD slot of the MFD. A mobile device with Garmin Pilot
must be paired with the Flight Stream 510 over Bluetooth (refer to the Additional Features section). When
there is at least one paired device available to connect, the Flight Stream 510 will automatically connect to
the system' s preferred mobile device. The preferred device can be selected on the Aux – Databases page from
a menu list of paired devices.
Once a connection to the paired mobile device is made, Garmin Pilot makes available databases that
can be transferred to the Flight Stream 510. If any of these databases is more recent than the respective
standby database on the system, (or if there is no standby database on the system) those databases will be
automatically selected to load. The database updates may be initiated from the Aux - Databases page, or from
other pages on the MFD.
Updating Databases:
1) With the system OFF, remove an SD Card from the bottom SD card slot of the MFD.
2) Download and install the databases on an SD card.
3) Put the SD Card in the bottom SD card slot of the MFD.
4) Turn the system ON.
5) Press the ENT Key or the right most softkey on MFD display to acknowledge the startup screen.
6) Turn the large FMS Knob to select the Aux page group on the MFD.
7) Turn the small FMS Knob to select the Database page group on the MFD.
8) Monitor the Sync Status on the Database page. Wait for all databases to complete syncing, indicated by 'Sync
Complete' being displayed. A cyan double arrow will appear between the Standby and Active columns to show
which Standby databases will be transferred to Active at the next power cycle.
