Optional SVS/Pathways Enable

Follow this procedure to enable the Synthetic Vision option. A GDU1XXX SVS Enable Card, as
specified on General Arrangement Drawing 005-00629-02, will be required for this procedure.
The G1000 has various features that require the use of unlock/enable cards to
activate the feature. Throughout this document these cards are generically
referred to as 'enable cards'. In some cases, the actual label on the physical
card may say 'unlock'. If uncertain, the technician should verify the card part
number prior to use.
The Garmin Synthetic Vision and Pathways feature requires 9 arc-second high
resolution terrain databases to function. Each G1000 display must be equipped
with the Terrain/Obstacle/SafeTaxi database card installed in the lower slot.
When the SVS/Pathways option is enabled for the first time the G1000 writes its
unique system ID to the physical card and locks the files to this unique ID. This
prevents the SVS/Pathways unlock card from ever being used to activate the
SVS/Pathway feature in other G1000 systems.
The unlock card is tied to the specific aircraft in which it was used for the first
time. This card MUST be kept with the aircraft for situations where
SVS/Pathways must be re-activated.
1. With the SVS Enable card in the top slot of PFD1 and PFD1 in configuration mode, select the
"SYSTEM UPLOAD" page using the small FMS knob on PFD1.

FMS knob to highlight "Configuration Files" and press ENT key on PFD1.

PFD1.

softkey.

following:

6. Press ENT key on PFD1 to acknowledge upload complete.
7. De-activate the cursor.
