CONNEXT DATA REQUESTS

The Connext Data Request Menu provides the flight crew with the options to enable or disable the requested
weather coverage area(s), choose automatic weather update intervals (if desired), and the ability to send or
cancel weather data requests. The status of the Garmin Connext data request process is also displayed.
Before a Garmin Connext data request can occur, a valid request coverage area must be defined from which
all currently available Garmin Connext weather products will be retrieved. At a minimum, either the aircraft' s
present position or a waypoint (as part of a flight plan or entered directly in the 'WAYPOINT' coverage field)
must be part of the request coverage area, otherwise the request status window indicates 'Invalid Coverage Area'
and the system will not allow a request to occur.
It is not necessary for a destination (based on an active flight plan), a flight plan, or waypoint to be specified
prior to enabling these coverage areas; however no weather data will be retrieved for these option(s) until a
flight plan or waypoint is provided, respectively.
Requesting Garmin Connext weather manually:
1) Select the Weather Data Link (CNXT) Page.
2) Press the MENU Key.
