Selecting A Chart; Selecting Flitecharts Or Chartview - Garmin G500 Pilot's Manual

5.1.4

Selecting a Chart

NOTE: When the charts database synchronizes with another LRU, and
Chart Streaming is not available, a message banner at the bottom of the
Chart page displays "Getting newer charts." This process can take several
minutes.
The G500/G600 will only allow the pilot to select the chart type in normal
mode if it is configured for ChartView. When in-air, the pilot cannot select the
field to change the chart source, and a small message is displayed underneath the
Chart Type line that reads "Chart Type can only be changed when on ground".
The ability to select a chart type is absent from normal mode if configured for
FliteCharts.
5.1.4.1

Selecting FliteCharts or ChartView

When configured during installation and when both chart types are available,
you can select which chart type will be used. Only one chart type can be used
at a time.
1. Turn the large MFD knob to highlight the Chart Type sections.
2. Turn the small MFD knob to select ChartView or FliteCharts.
3. Press the ENT key to save the selected value.
4. Changing chart type requires a restart of the unit. With OK selected, press the
ENT key to restart the unit and change to the selected chart type.
