SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Garmin Databases
Since these databases are not stored internally in the
MFD or PFD, a Supplemental Data Card containing iden-
tical database versions must be kept in each display unit.
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.
1) Insert one SD card in the bottom card slot of
the MFD and one in the bottom card slot of the
PFD. The SD card containing the ChartView or
FliteCharts database must be inserted into the
bottom slot on the MFD.
2) Apply power to the G1000 System. View the
MFD power-up splash screen. Check that the
databases are initialized and displayed on the
scrolling window of 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 verifying the correct databases
are initialized, then proceed to step 3.
