Databases residing on Supplemental Data Cards are not stored internally in the
displays (except for the Touchscreen Controllers), therefore, a Supplemental Data Card
containing identical database versions must be kept in the bottom card slot of each
GDU.
The basemap database contains data for the topography and land features, such as
rivers, lakes, and towns. It is updated only periodically, with no set schedule. There
is no expiration date.
The terrain database contains the terrain mapping data. This database is updated
periodically and has no expiration date.
The obstacle database contains data for obstacles, such as towers, that pose a
potential hazard to aircraft. Obstacles 200 feet and higher are included in the obstacle
database. It is very important to note that not all obstacles are necessarily charted and
therefore may not be contained in the obstacle database. This database is updated on
a 56-day cycle.
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.
The SafeTaxi database contains detailed airport diagrams for selected airports.
These diagrams aid in following ground control instructions by accurately displaying
the aircraft position on the map in relation to taxiways, ramps, runways, terminals, and
services. This database is updated on a 56-day cycle.
The AOPA or AC-U-KWIK Airport Directory provides data on airports and heliports
throughout the U.S., and offers detailed information for over 5,300 U. S. airports,
along with the names and phone numbers of thousands of FBOs. These databases are
updated every 56 days.
The FliteCharts database contains procedure charts for the United States only.
This database is updated on a 28-day cycle. If not updated within 180 days of the
expiration date, FliteCharts will no longer function.
Updating Garmin Databases
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 program the new databases onto
an existing Supplemental Data Card. Equipment required to perform the update is as
follows:
