Database Loading

NOTE
When updating databases on the GI 275, ensure the rotorcraft has been on the ground
since the unit was powered on, otherwise certain database update options are disabled.
The GI 275 system uses several databases depending on its configuration. These databases (and database
updates) are available for purchase at flyGarmin.com. Databases are locked to a System ID and cannot be
used in more than one system. The System ID is the same for each GI 275 installed in the system.
Databases are typically updated using a portable electronic device (PED) with the Garmin Pilot
application.
After obtaining the appropriate databases from flyGarmin.com, they can be loaded to the GI 275 system by
USB drive, another Garmin LRU via Database Sync, or through the Database Concierge feature (Wi-Fi).
2.3.3.1 Automatic Database Updates
The GI 275 will automatically prompt the user to update databases on startup in Normal mode if the
following conditions are met:
• A newer database is detected in the standby queue (refer to GI 275 Pilot's Guide for details) or on
a connected compatible Garmin LRU
• The newer database is within its effective dates
• The rotorcraft is on the ground
Follow the on-screen prompts to update a database. A dedicated page will display during this process.
NOTE
The Basemap database will automatically update when the above conditions are met
without user input. In this case, a unit restart is not required.
NOTE
The Terrain database cannot be queued for update. To update the Terrain database, the
older database must be deleted before the newer database can be downloaded.
