Updating G3X Databases - Garmin G3X Pilot's Manual

OBSTACLE
The obstacle database contains data for obstacles, such as towers, that pose a
potential hazard to aircraft. Obstacles 200 feet and higher are included in the obstacle
database. It is very important to note that not all obstacles are necessarily charted and
therefore may not be contained in the obstacle database. This database is updated on
a 56-day cycle.
TERRAIN
NOTE: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from
government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the
data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data.
The terrain database is updated periodically and has no expiration date.

UPDATING G3X DATABASES

NOTE: The databases are stored internally on each GDU. When updating a
system with multiple GDUs, each GDU will need to be updated individually
using the same SD card.
The G3X database updates can be obtained by visiting the 'flyGarmin' website
(www.fly.garmin.com). The 'flyGarmin' website requires the unit's System ID to update
databases. This allows the databases to be encrypted with the unit's unique System ID
when copied to the SD Card.
Obtaining the System ID:
1) Press the MENU Key twice to access the Main Menu.
2) Select 'System Setup' and press the ENT Key.
