Updating Garmin Databases - Garmin G2000 Cockpit Reference Manual

The FliteCharts database contains procedure charts for the United States only. This
database is updated on a 28-day cycle. If not updated within 180 days of the expira-
tion date, FliteCharts will no longer function.

Updating Garmin Databases

The Garmin database updates can be obtained by following the instructions de-
tailed in the 'Aviation Databases' section of the Garmin website (fly.garmin.com). Once
the updated files have been downloaded from the website, a PC equipped with an
appropriate SD card reader is used to unpack and program the new databases onto
an existing Supplemental Data Card. Equipment required to perform the update is as
follows:
• Windows-compatible PC computer (running Windows XP, Vista, or Windows
7)
• SD Card Reader: SanDisk SDDR-93, SanDisk SDDR-99, Verbatim #96504, or
equivalent
• Updated database obtained from the Garmin website
• Existing Supplemental Database SD Cards (010-00330-42, or -43) from each
GDU.
In some cases it may be necessary to obtain an unlock code from Garmin in order
to make the database product functional. It may also be necessary to have the system
configured by a Garmin authorized service facility in order to use some database fea-
tures.
After the data has been copied to the appropriate data card, perform the following
steps:
1) With system power OFF, remove the Supplemental Data Card from the
bottom card slot of the MFD.
2) Update the Garmin databases on the Supplemental Data Card.
3) Insert the Supplemental Data Card into the bottom card slot of the MFD.
4) Apply power to the system.
5) From the Home Screen on the Touchscreen Controller, touch Utilities > Setup
> Avionics Status.
6) If necessary, touch the Database Tab. The Touchscreen Controller shows a list
of displays on which databases reside.
