3.3 Database Updates

CAUTION
The databases on the GTN Database Card are locked to specific GTN Xi installations. The
first time the GTN Database Card is inserted into a GTN Xi, it associates exclusively with
that particular unit and will not work in other installations.
The GTN Xi utilizes various databases. All databases are loaded to the unit through the single data card
that is inserted into the vertical slot on the left side of the GTN Xi. All databases are stored internally on
the GTN Xi. Database updates can be applied in Normal mode at power-up. Alternatively, the databases
can be updated in Configuration mode through the Updates page. The GTN Xi, by default, will only
update to effective databases. If loading databases that are not yet effective, or if the GTN Xi GPS time is
out-of-date, press and hold the dual-concentric knob during power-up to install all database updates from
the data card.
Databases are updated by removing the database card from the GTN Xi, updating the database on the card,
and re-inserting the card. Databases can also be updated using a Flight Stream 510 wireless data card and a
portable device. When powering on in Normal mode with a Flight Stream 510 inserted into the data card
slot, the GTN Xi will provide on-screen instructions on how to transfer databases from a portable device
(with a compatible application) over Wi-Fi.
Database cards and the Flight Stream 510 should not be swapped between GTN Xi units if multiple
GTN Xi units are installed.
Database cards can be updated by purchasing database subscription updates from Garmin. Contact Garmin
at (866) 739-5687 or go to
