Updating Garmin Databases - Garmin G500H Pilot's Manual

Updating Garmin databases

1) Download the data to the data cards from the appropriate web site.
2) Insert the Database SD card in an empty card slot of the GDU 620. The SD card
containing the ChartView, FliteCharts, SafeTaxi, or any other database (except
for the Jeppesen Aviation Database) must be inserted into the lower slot on the
GDU 620.
3) Apply power to the G500H System. View the MFD power-up splash screen.
Check that the databases are initialized and displayed on the splash screen.
When updating the terrain and FliteCharts databases, an "in progress" message
may be seen. If this message is present, wait for the system to finish loading
before proceeding. Some databases can take up to 15 minutes to update.
4) Acknowledge the Power-up Page agreement by pressing the ENT key or the
right-most soft key. If a database is highlighted in yellow, it is either expired or
the G500H can not determine the date.

7) Turn the small MFD knob to scroll through the list and check that all databases
are current and there are no errors.
8) Power down the GDU 620.
