garmin databases
The following databases are stored on Supplemental Data Cards provided by
Garmin:
• Expanded basemap
• Terrain
• Airport terrain
After subscribing to the desired database product updates, these updated databases
are copied to each Supplemental Data Card for each display (the card that contains the
FliteCharts or ChartView database resides in the MFD). Since these databases are not
stored internally in the displays, these Supplemental Data Cards must remain in the
bottom card slot of each display.
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.
Obtaining Garmin Database Updates
The Garmin database updates can be obtained by following the instructions
detailed 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 copy the new databases onto the
appropriate Supplemental Data Cards. Equipment required to perform the update is
as follows:
• Windows-compatible PC computer (Windows 2000 or XP recommended)
• SD Card Reader: SanDisk SDDR-93, SanDisk SDDR-99, Verbatim #96504, or
equivalent
• Updated database obtained from the Garmin website
