Sd Card Use And Databases - Garmin G900X Pilot's Manual

SD CARD USE AND DATABASES

The G900X System uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to load and store various types of data. For basic flight
operations, SD cards are required for database storage as well as Jeppesen aviation and ChartView database
updates.
JEPPESEN DATABASES
The Jeppesen aviation database is updated on a 28-day cycle. The optional ChartView database is updated
on a 14-day cycle. If the ChartView database is not updated within 70 days of the expiration date, ChartView
no longer functions.
Both these databases are provided directly from Jeppesen. The ChartView database should be copied to the
Garmin-supplied Supplemental Data Card which resides in the bottom card slot on the MFD. The aviation
database may be installed from the Jeppesen-supplied SD data card or copied to one of the Garmin-supplied
Supplemental Data Cards. Contact Jeppesen (www.jeppesen.com) for subscription and update information.
The aviation database may be programmed to only one of the Supplemental Data Cards. This card must then
be used to update the PFD and the MFD. After the aviation database is installed, the card may be removed after
loading the update to each LRU.
Updating the Jeppesen aviation database:
1) With the G900X System OFF, insert the SD card containing the aviation database update into the top card slot
of the PFD to be updated (label of SD card should face left).
2) Turn the G900X System ON. A prompt similar to the following is displayed in the upper left corner of the PFD:
3) Press the ENT Key to start the database update. A prompt similar to the following is displayed:
